DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids Stuffed
Valentine Finger paint Craft
Even the youngest crafters can make this project. It's
great for the children in the baby room or toddler room in a daycare
to make and hang from the ceiling.
Thanks to Jenna for sending this idea in!
Materials:
paper
scissors
stapler
finger paint (or tempra paint and brush) in Valentine's colors
cotton balls or shredded newspaper
IF HANGING: short piece of string, wool or ribbon
Directions:
print two copies of the template (or just draw your hearts freehand
but make them the same size). Do not cut out yet.
Let the children paint the templates with finger paints or a brush
and tempra paint
Allow to dry.
Cut out the hearts (adults will need to help with this)
Staple all the way around the edge of the hearts, leaving an opening
at the top
Stuff hearts with shredded paper (kids age 3+ love to help with
this step).
Finish stapling the heart closed
staple a short piece of string to the top to hang from the ceiling
Templates:
Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template
on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
