Looking for a fun and easy Valentine’s Day craft for the kids? Look no further than this adorable puppy craft!
Craft Supplies:
- Puppy Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Crayons {I used pink}
- Craft Scissors
- Large Heart Shapes
- Medium Heart Shapes
- Paper Heart Doilies
- Stapler
- Large Wiggle Eyes
Directions:
- First things first – print out the valentine puppy template that is listed above in the supply list.
- Print it out on a piece of simple white cardstock paper. You need ONE puppy printable per Valentine’s Day craft.
- Next up – grab the crayons {or markers, pencils etc.} and color in the face and paws in the valentine dog printable. I went with a pink puppy but you can do whatever color you like!
- Once done with the coloring step, trim out each section in the printable and set them aside. You will have ONE head and TWO paws to work with.
- 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 puppy 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 dog is holding the heart!}
- Follow that up by stapling the puppy paws in place but on the front of the design. Again, it will look like the dog is holding the heart.
- To finish off the Valentine dog craft, add the wiggle eyes so your puppy friend can see.
- Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!
