This heart chalk stencil art is one of our favorite Valentine’s Day crafts for kids. Children always seem to enjoy this fun method of creating collages using chalk and stencils!

Do you remember our Christmas Light Chalk Stencil Art from a few months back? We enjoyed that project so much that we wanted to try using the same method to make a Valentine’s Day craft. We came up with this colorful heart collage. I love  how the hearts look like they’re almost glowing! (This post contains affiliate links.)

Chalk Stencil Heart Collage

Materials for Heart Collage

  • Black construction paper
  • Colored chalk
  • Cotton balls
  • Thick paper like card stock or file folders to make the heart stencil. You can even used old pieces of cardboard from cereal boxes!

Directions for Making the Heart Collage

1. Draw a heart shape on your thick paper and cut it out. This will be your stencil for tracing.

2. Place your heart stencil on the black paper. Outline it with a piece of colored chalk.

3. Still holding the stencil in place, use a cotton ball to brush the chalk away from the stencil. Do this all the way around the heart stencil.

4. Remove the stencil to reveal your heart!

5. Continue making hearts using different colored chalk to create your collage.

Tips

  • Try out different colors of paper for the background or experiment with mixing and blending the chalk.
  • You can even overlap the stencils to create some interesting designs!
  • Try making other pictures with heart stencils. We used the hearts to make a flower!

    Great photos! I love your technique. It’s so versatile too. Chalk is such a fun medium that you don’t see often. Thank you for sharing.

    This would also work great with soft pastels!
    I’m going to try this technique in my art journal today, thanks for the idea 🙂

    I used to love doing something VERY similar to this. What I would do is use a regular pencil, draw a shape (since I was a young teenager, i would pick hearts), So I would draw a heart and then take a kleenex and smudge around the edge. It did something very similar this. I still love looking at the ones that I did from a long time ago, but might definitely have to do this one 🙂

    Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Is there a something you spray on the project to maintain the integrity of the chalk?

      I usually don’t spray the projects, although some of my teacher friends say using hairspray with a very fine mist works!

    These are really cute! I think putting pictures inside the hearts would look neat too.

    […] Buggy and Buddy Collage Chalk Hearts… I LIKE this one! Teachers will need to cut a few hearts for tracing but that’s quick and easy. I think the project would yell a bit more Valentine with a nice red border behind the black construction paper. Just cut a little of the black border off the top and one side of the black construction paper before students begin their project. Once finished just have them glue or tape their masterpiece on a regular size sheet of red construction paper. […]
