WHAT YOU NEED:
Construction paper in red, white, pink
Scissors
Markers
Heart shaped stickers, optional
Fabric to cut into heart shapes, optional
Yarn, buttons or other trims; optional
Heart shaped patterns, optional
Pre-cut hearts (recommended for younger kids), optional
HOW TO MAKE IT:
You can let the children draw their own hearts on paper and then add the details to make animals, let them cut hearts out of paper or cloth, have an assortment of pre-cut hearts (good for younger children). You can also use simple heart shaped stickers for some of the smaller hearts.
The simplest version of the project is to make a drawing of an animal drawing hearts or on paper, or arrange pre-cut hearts on paper. For a more complex project, children can cut their own hearts.
Tips:
Make heart-shaped patterns for the children in a variety of sizes and proportions for them to cut out their own. Show them to fold the paper in half to make a symmetrical heart.
