January is half over and it is time to think about heart crafts for kids, since Valentine’s Day will be here soon. A colorful easy pasta heart craft is perfect.
This is a fun pasta heart craft using supplies you probably already have, pasta, markers, and pipe cleaner. This heart craft is great for practicing fine motor skills and counting.
Coloring small items and lacing them on the pipe cleaner helps with the fine motor skills, the start to learning to write letters. Counting the number of pasta pieces need, eight, will help with math skills. You can also sort by color.

Pasta Heart Craft
Supplies
- penne pasta – eight per heart
- Crayola Washable Marker
- pipe cleaners – 1 for each heart
First, color 8 pieces of penne pasta with a marker of your choice.
Next, take a pipe cleaner and fold it in half. Place four of the colored pasta on each side. Then twist the last 1/2 inch of the 2 pipe cleaners together.
Finally, shape into a heart, by bending the pipe cleaner where the heart usually curves. Flatten the heart by pushing on a flat surface.
