I’m showering you with craftiness today with our latest Trunk Full of Love Elephant Craft! It doubles as a paper craft AND an easy Valentine card!
Trunk Full of Love Valentine Elephant Craft Idea
My eyes are full of heart emojis for today’s “Trunk Full of Love” Elephant kid craft idea! I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!
My motivation behind this post was for kids to get some craft time in AND make an awesome paper piece to give to someone special on their life, on Valentine’s Day. It can be easily given as is or be placed in a frame for safe keeping.
So on that note, of course there’s a FREE printable to get you started on this easy DIY!
Just download, print and add dots of glue on the provided marks in the printable. From there – kids can add as many hearts as they like, as their elephant showers the paper with tons of HEARTS!
Ready for the full how-to? Find all the details and download below! Happy crafting, my friends!
