Looking for a Valentine’s Day art lesson for primary students that is cute, structured, calm, and actually educational? Want a K–2 Valentine art project that goes beyond a quick craft and includes directed drawing, painting, reading comprehension, writing, and reflection—all in one ready-to-teach resource?

This Valentine’s Day Bunny Art Project is a complete primary art resource designed specifically for Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 learners. Students create an adorable bunny holding a heart artwork using simple shapes, wax resist, and painting techniques, then deepen their learning with age-appropriate literacy activities and art reflections that are easy for young learners to understand and complete.

This is the kind of Valentine’s lesson that keeps kids engaged and keeps teachers feeling calm and confident.

WHY PRIMARY TEACHERS LOVE THIS VALENTINE BUNNY LESSON

Primary students thrive with:

• clear steps
• visual modeling
• predictable structure

This lesson was intentionally designed with large shapes, simple lines, repeated steps, and gentle pacing, making it perfect for young artists who are still developing fine motor skills and confidence.

It’s sweet, festive, and developmentally appropriate—without being overwhelming or chaotic during Valentine’s week.
