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).
