Craft Foam Heart Fox Supplies:

• Darice Foamies Heart Bases
• Darice Felties Heart Bases
• Craft Felt
• Scissors
• Darice Felties Felt Glue

Directions:

* First have children decide the color scheme they want for each fox. Do they want the colored felt pieces to match the foam heart or do they want a different multicolored look? Remember, this is the fun part of the craft and where the creativity really shines! You don’t have to stick to the traditional Valentine’s Day colors either!
* You will want ONE foam heart, ONE smaller felt heart and a little bit of regular felt for EACH fox you want to make. Have them lay out the pieces they want first before moving forward.
* Now you are ready to start cutting. Grab your scissors and the felt heart that will be the center of the fox’s face. In our case, it was a white heart. Go ahead and cut it in half, straight up the center. This will go on sides of the fox face and really give definition to the eyes. Once cut, set that aside and grab the craft felt for the ears next.
* Out of the felt for the ears, cut out TWO larger triangles and TWO smaller triangles to be placed inside the first two pieces. Set aside.
* Finally, grab your last pieces of felt {in our case black} and cut out TWO circular eyes and a large circular nose. Repeat these steps for EACH Valentine fox you want to make.
* The final step is assembling. Grab ALL your felt pieces and Felties glue. Start off by gluing the half heart felt piece to the center of your craft foam heart. Follow that up by gluing on the ears, as well as the eyes and nose. At this point in time set aside your finished piece to let it dry completely. You can also choose to add on other embellishments to give it that “dazzle” for Valentine’s Day. We took some leftover felt scraps and made a sweet bow. Glitter, rhinestones and even feathers would be a nice touch too.

For party decor, place tape to the back of each finished piece to adhere to a wall or hole punch and string your pieces together to make a nice festive garland.

Add some Darice Sticky Sticks to your finished pieces for puppet play or even for a Valentine’s Day photo booth.
