3D Father's Day Paper Craft

This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament you can hang around the room.

Print template of choice and color as necessary.
Cut out the template pieces.
Fold each piece in half (on the dashed line) so they are all colored on both the front and the back.
Optional: Put thin cardboard in between the front and back of each template piece to make them a bit sturdier.
Glue together so the pieces are colored on both sides.
3D Hearts:
- Cut on one of the dotted lines of each template piece (only cut as far as the dotted line goes, not all the way through the piece).
- Slide the pieces together, top to bottom
- Glue a piece of ribbon, string or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon through). If you hole punch, do it through the heart that is cut from the bottom, not the one that is cut from the top.
Happy Father's Day sign:
- punch three holes in the bottom of the Happy Father's Day sign template (one in the center and one on each edge).
- string one heart through each of the holes so it hangs down from the sign.
- punch a hole in the bottom of the middle heart and string the fourth heart through that hole
Optional:
- Print as many copies of template 3 as you like and keep adding hearts to the bottom of the other hearts and the Happy Father's Day sign to make a very busy scene!
- 'numbers practice' -- count the hearts.
- 'colors practice' -- color the background of each heart a different color.
