Paper Valentine Holding Owl Craft


Paper Valentine Holding Owl - Kid Craft

Valentine Owl Craft Idea For Kids

Today’s post is a HOOT! We are taking some plain computer paper and making what some would call a card or even just something you would hang on the wall to enjoy. Both of which are awesome – regardless of what you decide to do with it!

Our Paper Valentine Holding Owl kid craft tutorial is as easy as is gets! We are talking THREE pieces of paper, some basic crayons, a little adhesive and tons of creativity! Not to mention with my favorite part being the owl’s “HANDPRINT” wings, it also doubles as a great keepsake idea as well!

So are you ready to have your child make their own Valentine’s Day inspired owl piece? Find the FULL tutorial AND the FREE PRINTABLE TEMPLATES below, to get you started with ease! Like I said – it’s super simple, just how we like it and will always provide for you! With the less stress you have, the more time you can craft! So be sure to encourage them to make multiples and GIFT their DIY pieces today! Happy crafting!!!

Paper Valentine Holding Owl - Kid Craft

Looking for a fun and easy craft project to do with your kids this Valentine’s Day? Look no further than this paper owl holding a heart craft idea!

Craft Supplies:

  • Free Owl Printable on box.com {page 1}
  • Free Heart Shape Printable on box.com {page 2}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Color Printer
  • Crayons and/or Markers
  • Colored Cardstock Paper {I went with red!}
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Kid Friendly Scissors
  • Glue Stick
  • optional materials – scrapbook letter stickers/embellishments

You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!

Directions:

  • First things first – print out the FREE printables listed above, each on one sheet of white cardstock. You only need one of each, per craft. So one owl and one heart printable. Print as many as you like!
  • Have children decorate the printables however they like with the crayons. Give the owl shape some Valentine’s Day flair and add your own messages to the heart cutouts.
  • Once done, use scissors to trim out each piece in the two printables. Discard the excess paper, while setting them aside for a bit.
  • Grab the colored cardstock, a pencil and your scissors. Trace both of your child’s hands on the paper.
  • Trim out the traced handprints with the scissors. Discard excess paper.
  • Now grab the glue stick and all your paper pieces.
  • Take the handprints and slightly fold them and glue the palms of the handprints {fingertips should be facing you} in place behind the owl paper piece, so it looks like they belong to his body.
  • Now take the two heart cutouts and glue them to the palms of the handprints, making sure the handprints can close up again and hiding the heart piece inside {please refer to our images for better understanding.}
  • And that’s it! Add other embellishments you see fit to your Paper Valentine Owl Friend before displaying and/or gifting proudly!

Make it your own:

  • Don’t feel restricted by our tutorial! If your child doesn’t want to do handprints, challenge them to cut out their own wings from cardstock and follow the tutorial from there.
  • If you don’t like our heart shapes – make your own! Grab stickers, paper heart doilies or just plain paper to give it that custom feel.
  • Also – don’t feel obligated to use crayons either. Colored pencils, markers and even watercolors would work for this DIY.
