Supplies:
paper, any kind – cut into small squares, as it’s easier to fold and cut with little hands pencil – so you can erase the line if needed scissors – best to have child scissors for them to practice
Instructions:
Fold your small paper in half and using your pencil, draw a half of a heart on the folded side. Draw small hearts, medium sized hearts, or big sized hearts.
Here’s what it looks like if you do it on the wrong side. It’s good to show this to your kids, letting them know how important it is to draw on the folded side of the paper. We want a full heart not just a half!
Let your kids cut out the hearts on the fold, following the pencil line. This is great for practicing those scissor skills.
My daughter, 4 years old, loved cutting these out and did a pretty good job. My son, 7 years old, was able to draw his own half hearts and then cut them out. Perfect craft for so many ages. We now have hearts-a-plenty, looking like we’ve had a bit of a Heart-Attack!!
There are so many ways to use these heart cut-outs. Tape them your refrigerator, walls, or windows for Valentine’s Day decor. Write little love notes on them and give them out to friends and family. Use them in other Valentine’s day crafts.
