Make a Valentine Guy (Children's Craft)

Materials

• 4 strips of white construction paper, 1” x 18”
• 1 piece 12” x 18” red construction paper
• 1 piece 12” x 18” pink construction paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Pencil

Instructions

1. Fold the red construction paper in half so it measures 12” by 9”. Draw half a heart against the fold and cut out. This should open into a large heart.
2. Fold the pink construction paper in half and cut another heart as above, but make it at least 1” smaller than the red heart.
3. Use the scraps to make four hearts for hands and feet. These should be at least two inches long. Cut out eyes and mouth if you wish.
4. Center the large pink heart on top of the large red heart. Glue in place.
5. Fold each strip of white paper accordion style (fan fold). Glue two strips onto the back of the large red heart to be legs.
   
6. Glue the other two strips onto the back of the large red heart to be arms. Glue one two-inch heart to the end of each strip, making hands and feet.
7. Make facial features by gluing on pieces cut earlier or by drawing eyes, nose, and mouth.
8. Hang the Valentine Guy where his arms and legs can swing freely.
