| Glue the small pink heart onto the tip of the face heart
to make a nose. |
 |
| Add two small upside down hearts to the bumps of the face
heart to make the center of the ears. |
 |
| Glue on the face heart onto the top of the last large
heart so the bumps overlap (the tip of the face and the tip of the body
should face out). |
 |
| If making on a card or other background, draw a curvy tail
with a marker. Otherwise, tape on a piece of string or wool to
make the tail. |

Option for mass-producing - young children: Print
out the B&W template. Trace the pieces onto stiff cardboard (back of
paper pads works well) or margarine/ice cream container lids. Cut out to
make permanent templates. Allow the children to trace these
permanent templates onto different colors of construction paper to make their
animal
Option for mass-producing - older children: Omit
the templates. Let the children cut out heart shapes in various sizes from
colored construction paper (show them how to fold paper in half and then cut to
make a perfectly symmetrical heart). Let the children create their own
animals by putting together hearts of different sizes (you can pre-make a few
example animals to give them some inspiration).
