Dancing Hearts Card

Create a fun-filled greeting card for Valentine's Day!
by Jane Myers Dagmi




What you need:

  • 1 sheet pink construction paper (8" x 11")
  • Scallop-edged scissors
  • Fiskars heart puncher (optional)
  • 1 sheet purple construction paper (8" x 11")
  • White craft glue
  • Snips of fabric
  • Small googly eyes
  • 2 buttons
  • Black felt marker

1. Let your child fold the pink construction paper in half. Use scallop-edged scissors (available in crafts stores) to cut a 1/4-inch strip from the edges of the paper opposite the crease. (This will give the card a decorative look.)

2. Cut out about 10 small hearts from purple construction paper (or use a Fiskars heart puncher). Apply the hearts along the borders of the card using the craft glue. Let dry.

3. Cut out two heart shapes, each from a different swatch of fabric, and glue them to the front of the card. Let your child use glue to apply googly eyes and button noses.

4. Use a black felt pen to create the arms and legs of the dancing hearts. Once dry, your child can pen his own message inside.
