 | Print out the template of choice and color them as appropriate.
 | NOTE: You can omit printing the third template and just cut a
construction paper heart
|
|
 | Wrap the empty box up with construction paper (or gift wrap) in an
appropriate color (white, pink, brown and red would all work).
|
 | Cut a slit in the top of the box large enough to fit Valentine's Day cards
in the top.
 | NOTE: You could also just cut the entire top off the box or use
a no-top box like a shoe box.
|
|
 | OPTIONAL: Glue the templates to pieces of thin cardboard and let dry
|
 | Cut out the template pieces.
|
 | Print the child's name on the large heart (template 3)
|
 | Glue pieces together:
 | Head shape (large oval on Template 1) should go on shoulders (Template
2) |
 | Glue small red hearts into the center of the ears. |
 | Glue the smaller oval "muzzle" (Template 2) onto the
head |
 | Glue the red heart nose onto the muzzle |
 | Glue the bow as a bowtie below the muzzle or as a hair bow to one of
the ears |
 | Glue the whole body onto the back of the box, facing over the top (so
it looks like he's sitting behind the box, holding it... see picture at
the top of this page if you don't understand). |
 | Glue the large heart (template 3) onto the front of the box |
 | Glue the paws to the front of the box, overlapping the heart slightly
