If you have a special kiddo in your life this next craft project is for you! We love the classic heart candies for Valentine's, so this project is inspired by them. It's a set of alphabet blocks that kids can use to spell new words!
1. You will need: wooden hearts (we got a bag for a few dollars at Michael's), Craft paint in pastels and black and a paint brush. 2. Paint a base coat on all your hearts. This will probably take up to two coats of paint, on both sides. 3. Draw your letters in marker or pencil before you paint, if you like! 4. Paint letters on each block. Do the entire alphabet plus extra vowells. You can put more letters on the back sides if you want more options. Seal with an acrylic sealer if you like.
We created this project as a spelling game for kids. Our two year old niece is a little young for that, but she had fun identifying letters for us and stacking the blocks. We love this little game. It's the perfect Valentine's gift for that little someone you love. xo. elsie + emma

Super sweet! You are on a roll with all these ideas lately!
wow… These are really cute. And it is a great Idea to make a game, where the children could learn something.
You could make some little holes in the Hearts so that you could also use it as a necklace. And everyday another word.

love it!
That’s so cute!

Oh this is so cute! I wish I had a little one just so we could play with them
Super cute! I’ll have to remember this project when my little one is old enough to read 🙂
Super cute! Love it!
Thanks for the tip! Can’t wait to do these some day with my Baby Lulu! I’m always looking for fun new projects.
Oh wow!! so cute!!
And I love those dimpled baby hands in the last picture 🙂
these are cute, but some of those hearts are way too small for babies! its a choking hazard. Also are you using voc free paint?
These are super cute. My three year old LOVES the alphabet, and hearts, so I’m sure she would love these. And I could do a different shape with boy colors for when my son is a little older! (He’s only 10 months, not quite alphabet age haha)
Such a fun idea! There’s a Michael’s not far from where I live so of course now I wanna try this.
I love this craft! I have a two year old who loves to play with any kind of blocks.

Ana, this is a project for older kiddos (learning to spell). It’s definitely not intended for infants! The paint we used is Martha Stewart craft paint.
Thanks so much for reading!
So cute. My baby son loves playing with wooden blocks.

Adorable!
I am thinking that with the addition of a few holes and some twine, you could style a precious garland.
I like the peachy- orange color choice with the pink. Sweet.
So cute 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

For kiddos? Hello? I am a kiddo! 😉
Where do you get all these ideas from????
Too perfect! Think I’ll make some up for my nephew–

Very cute, but as others have mentioned they are dangerous for children. You must use non-toxic paint that is chew friendly and an equally safe sealant. Research this on Etsy. There are several great examples of wonderful homemade wood toys that follow these important principles.
I just noticed a comment about the heart blocks being for older children, but you make no mention of this in your post, and one of the photos features the hands of a very young toddler or baby. With such a high readership it’s really important that you post well researched projects to keep everyone informed and safe.
So cute! I’ve been trying to find fun projects to do with my younger cousin when I return home from school. Check out these Valentine’s I made, what do you think? They’re supposed to be for cheap college kids! 🙂
Such a cute idea!
What a great idea! Even better that is has a Valentine theme! You could even put magnets on the back of the hearts so they could be stuck on the fridge!

I love this idea! The colors you use are beautiful.
Since I don’t have children (unless you count little sisters..!) I made these then put magnets on the back. I’m a high school student, so after I made them I put them in my locker, and made a few other sets for my friends! Thanks for the idea!!
