  • Now grab your colored cardstock and small paper heart punch.
  • Punch out a handful of hearts for your craft.
  • Next, with your choice of glue, make little dots of adhesive on the provided marks in the train printable.
  • One by one, place the small heart pieces on top of the glue dots you just made, until each spot is covered.
  • If desired {and for a full look} punch out more hearts and glue those on top of your design and all over the paper.
  • Now grab your printed picture. Trim it down so it fits inside the square shape on the train.
  • Go ahead and adhere it in place on the train.
  • And that’s it! Add other embellishments you see fit and sign your name to your Heart Blowing Paper Valentine Truck Piece before displaying it proudly for all to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
