Paper Valentine Heart Cat Craft
If you are new around here, WELCOME! I’m so excited that you landed on today’s Peeking Valentine Cat craft post tutorial.
One thing I like to say to those who visit our website for the first time, is that I LOVE sharing EASY kids craft ideas that don’t take a lot of supplies or extra work to pull together.
I can honestly say that STRIVE to share kids craft ideas on Glued To My Crafts, that can be easily done within minutes.
On that note, throughout the years I have also learned what my readers really love from from our website {and keep coming back for!} They love when I share craft ideas that also come along with FREE PRINTABLES.
This makes it easy for anyone, to pull together my original designed idea without much thought or even creativity {so if you say you lack the crafty skills, we can still help you!}
These printables help you go from blah to WOW without the added frustration.
So anyways… with the free cat face and paws template I’ve included below, you can make a Valentine’s Day themed piece with your child, within minutes. I think the hardest part is probably picking the perfect heart shapes for your adorable Valentine cat to hold!

- Discard excess paper.
- Now grab all your heart shapes and the stapler.
- Start layering them {biggest to smallest} and staple them all together to secure in place.
- Now you are ready to staple the cat face piece you made earlier, to the back of the entire heart piece, so it looks like she/he is peeking out from behind it {so it looks like the cat is holding the heart!}
- Follow that up by stapling the cat paws in place but on the front of the design. Again, it will look like the cat is holding the heart.
- To finish off the Valentine cat craft, add the wiggle eyes so your feline friend can see.
- Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!
