From our Heart Holding Puppy to our Peeking Valentine Cat Craft, I’ve been having a BLAST this Valentine’s Day season coming up with tons of new, fresh craft ideas centered around a simple pack of heart shaped paper plates I picked up at Michaels for only $2.99. I just LOVE when the ideas just keep flowing from one simple material and you better believe I’m not stopping here either {stay tuned!}

Anyways – like I mentioned above, the crafty ideas just keep coming and I’m so excited to be sharing with you all today’s I Love You SLOW Much! Valentine Holding Sloth kid craft idea! Sloths may be SLOW in real life but this tutorial is not!

With the free sloth face and heart printable I’ve included in today’s post, your child is going to do some coloring, cutting and quick assembling to make a SUPER adorable piece that can be either displayed as is OR given to someone special as a paper Valentine.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t SLOW-POKE it! Find all the details and free printable below! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

This is a fun craft idea for kids to make and give their valentine!

Craft Supplies:

  • Free Printable Template {grab it on box.com}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Color Printer
  • Crayons or Markers
  • Basic Craft Scissors

Directions:

  • First things first – print out the sloth template above. Print it on simple white cardstock. You only need ONE sloth printable per craft.
  • Grab your crayons {or any coloring medium you like} and color the sloth’s face & the heart shape in the printable.
  • Once done with the coloring, trim out each section in the printable that you just colored and set aside.

  • Now grab the heart shaped paper plate and your stapler.
  • Staple the sloth’s face to the paper plate piece, so it looks like she/he is peeking out from behind it {or in another view, the sloth is holding the heart!}
  • Next, go ahead and staple the sloth hands you just made, in place on the paper plate as well.
  • Finish off by gluing the heart shape “I love you SLOW much” to the center of the heart paper plate.
