Need a cute Valentine that could be made by a group of children or a family? Look no further than this fingerprint art project.
It can be made by a whole group of children or individually. My sister and I, along with our kids, made this fingerprint heart valentine for our Grandma. It would also make a special keepsake gift for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or anytime you need a special handmade gift or card.

If you loved this Bird Fingerprint Art activity you’ll love this Valentine’s Day fingerprint heart too!
(Although my sister and I live over 1400 miles apart, we worked together to make this one-of-a-kind heart for my grandmother. It’s for her 94th birthday in April, but I have a feeling she may receive it a little early!)
How to Make A Fingerprint Heart Valentine
Supplies for the Fingerprint Heart:
- 11×14 flat artist canvas (this is a link to a 3-pack)
- acrylic paint in rainbow colors (this links to a fabulous rainbow pack)
- 11×14 picture frame
Affiliate links added for your convenience.
Directions:
1. I made a heart template to keep us in the lines.
2. Each person stamped their finger (after practicing) about 30 times.
3. Let it dry between each person.
4. Write your name (see tips from the bird post) and then stamp your finger.
5. My family is on the left and my sister’s is on the right (kids are at the top).

This is such a wonderful project! What a great family idea!
BTW- It is one of my favorite crafts from The Heart Book and mentioned it in my teaser post with a sneak preview of the book 😀

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback and can’t wait to see it in the book! 🙂
I just love this idea and the use of different colors for each person 🙂
This is SO CUTE!! Thank you for sharing!
Would this work for a teacher gift assuming you could get all the kids fingers in? Also none of links work so I can’t see directions or links to paints.
This is one of my favorite finger print ideas to date and will become my closing argument for why I want more than two kids.
I love this Kristen! Thank you for the idea. We’re going to make a plate out of it to add to our everyday china by scanning it and submitting to Makit.com. Love ya.
