Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Gather all your supplies and set up a crafting area where your little one can work comfortably.

Step 2: Cut and Decorate the Toilet Paper Rolls

Using scissors, help your preschooler cut the toilet paper rolls into smaller, equally-sized pieces. Then, let their imagination run wild as they decorate each piece with paints, markers, stickers, or anything else they fancy. Encourage them to get creative and make each piece unique! We created little heart by folding the toilet paper pieces.

Step 3: Create the Wreath Base

If you want you can take a piece of cardboard and cut it into a large circle to serve as the base for your wreath. This would help the younger kids for the collage. You can also shape it into a heart if you prefer. This will provide a sturdy foundation for assembling the toilet paper roll pieces.

Step 4: Assemble the Wreath

Now comes the fun part! Help your preschooler arrange the decorated toilet paper roll pieces around the cardboard base, forming a wreath shape. Secure each piece in place using glue or tape, making sure to overlap them slightly for a fuller look.

Step 5: Add Final Touches

Once the wreath is assembled, it's time to add some extra pizzazz! Let your little one embellish their creation with additional decorations like glitter, ribbons, or small paper hearts. This is where they can really let their creativity shine!

Step 6: Display and Enjoy

Once the glue is dry, find the perfect spot to display your masterpiece—a front door, a door class, a mantel, or even as a centerpiece for your Valentine's Day dinner table. Your preschooler will be bursting with pride seeing their handiwork on full display!
