DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Puzzle:  Make a Heart from circles and a square

Glue together basic shapes to make a heart for Valentine's Day. 

This is a fun shapes puzzle for grade school children to make on Valentine's Day.  Give the children the pieces and ask them to make a heart without folding or cutting any of them!

Materials:

• paper,
• glue,
• scissors.

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice and color them as appropriate.
  • For young children, you should print the first template as a guide for solving the heart puzzle.
  • For children grades 3 and up, you can omit the first template and let the children figure out how to arrange the pieces into a heart on their own.

Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
