Saint Valentine was a man of God, and given that his feast day revolves around love, it only seems fitting to include some Scripture activities for kids! What a great way to stay focused on the true meaning of this feast day. You can find all of my resources for celebrating the feast day of St. Valentine here, but for now, let’s take a look at celebrating St. Valentine with scripture.
Some websites that this post references no longer exist, so use these pictures as inspiration for making your own Scripture Valentine Crafts.
Here’s a fun Scripture verse Valentine that gets painted with Q-tips. This is a perfect craft for preschool, although children of all ages can enjoy this!
Try this “Open the Eyes of My Heart” craft. Another craft that is great for preschoolers!
Make a John 3:16 Valentine’s craft. I modified this one to fit the Catholic translated scripture from this verse. I really think these come out to be adorable.
Make decoder Valentines– so fun, especially for older kids and boys. This one seems really magical and can make a detective kind of game.
Make your own “perfect pairings” Valentines. These Scripture verses go with punny candy. So for each scripture verse, I have paired it with a fun St. Valentine’s treat that can go with the food!

Also, check out my Valentine’s day countdown chain– it’s a printable paper chain with Scripture verse to read per day counting down to the feast of St. Valentine! It’s so great when kids can see how much longer they are waiting for a feast day, and also a fun way to sneak a little bible reading into daily life with them. This also prints in full color or in black outline. The black outline version is super cute printed on pink paper!
I love this bible word search! You have to find the
words from Corinthians 13:4-8. So cute!
Busy With Blessings made an awesome
Beatitudes Valentine Project and the final
project made for a beautiful decoration!
Joyfilled Family shared some beautiful
Religious Love Printables with prayers!
Family at the Foot of the Cross also made these
Saintly Valentines for Jesus. 🙂
