Making Valentine's Day Heart Animals for Kids

Video Transcript

"My name is Courtney on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip I'm going to show you how to make some animals using little hearts. First you'll want to find a stencil or a template of a heart, and you'll want to trace it, and then cut it out, and you'll want to make several of these. So, It's better if you fold the paper in half and then cut, that way you get two at a time. Once you've cut out all your hearts your going to another piece of construction paper as your backing and then you're just going to arrange these in the shape of an animal. We're going to make a little puppy. I'm going to start with a red heart and it needs two little ears so I'm going to take my whites and put one on the side and one on this side. You'll want to arrange these before you glue them down. I'm going to give him a little body and so that there's contrast I'm going to use a different color for his legs, and then he needs a little tail and then you can glue it down and add, I'm going to glue it down. Then I'm going to add some details with our markers, going to give it some little eyes, little nose, some whiskers. Now we have a puppy dog."
