Craft Time! Hey parents, here is a fun and quick
project for you and your kids to do together.
Follow the directions below to create this
adorable decoration.
Your child will have a ball creating these quirky
decorations that you can hang around your home
for Valentine's Day. Materials Needed Pink
and red construction paper Scotch
tape Elmer's glue Markers Thin
ribbon Glitter, buttons, other decorative items
(optional) What to Do Step One Draw and cut
out heart shapes from the pink and red paper.
Your hearts can range in size from 5 to 10 inches
in diameter. Step Two For each heart you make,
cut four 1/2" x 10" strips of construction paper
in a contrasting color. For example, for a red
heart cut pink paper strips. Step Three Draw
and cut four tiny hearts (approximately 1 inch)
to make "hands" and "feet" for your Valentines.
Step Four Bend each strip of paper into an
accordion shape. On the back of your heart, tape
two of these strips to the bottom for "legs."
Tape two strips to the top of your heart for
"arms." Step Five Glue the tiny hearts to the
ends of each strip to make "hands" and "feet."
Step Six Draw a face on your Valentine. Use
glitter, buttons, or other decorative materials
to personalize it. Tape thin ribbon to the back
of your Valentine so it will be ready to hang for
the big day!
