What You’ll Need for Your Valentine’s Day Paper Heart Animals:
- Colored paper: Choose different colors for different animals and details.
- Scissors: For cutting out hearts in various sizes.
- Googly Eyes, Pom Poms, or Other Decorations: To add character to each animal.
- Glue or Sticky Tape: To assemble the hearts and decorations.
Instructions for Your Paper Heart Animals Craft:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Collect your colored paper, scissors, glue or tape, and any decorations you’d like to use.
You can either choose colors based on the animals you plan to make, (pink for a pig, orange for a fish, brown for a puppy), or keep a Valentine’s Day theme by using pinks, reds, and whites.
Step 2: Cut Different Sizes of Hearts
Cut out hearts in various sizes for different parts of each animal.
For example, large hearts can serve as the body or face; medium-sized hearts work well for ears, wings, or fins; and small hearts make adorable noses, tails, or other details.
Step 3: Arrange Your Hearts
Decide on your animal by arranging the hearts into shapes like butterflies, fish, dogs, and mice.
Use the larger hearts for the main body or head, and smaller hearts for ears, wings, or other details. Play around with different arrangements to create unique animal designs!
Step 4: Glue The Hearts Together
Once you have your hearts arranged, start gluing them together. Attach the smaller hearts onto the larger ones to form the body and details of each animal.
Make sure everything is secure before moving on to decorations.
Step 5: Add Googly Eyes, Pom Poms or Other Decorations
Now it’s time to give your animals some personality! Add googly eyes, pom poms, or other small decorations to create expressive faces and finishing touches.
You can even use markers or crayons to add extra details like whiskers, smiles, or stripes.
This paper heart animal Valentine’s Day craft is a delightful way for kids to create thoughtful and fun gifts or decorations. They’ll love making each animal their own with unique colors and decorations.
