How to Make a Handmade Heart Dog Card for Valentine’s Day

What you need:

Step by step instructions

Print out the template. If you are using coloring sheets, have your child color the sections of the template first.

Cut out all the pattern pieces.

Draw two hearts joined together on construction paper. This will be the dog’s head – we’ll use a light brown color.

Draw a heart shape in the middle on cardboard – this will be the ear – we choose dark brown for the ear.

Draw the smallest heart shape on cardboard – we choose black because black will make the nose.

The last part to draw is the tongue. If you want to make this craft all hearts, you can skip the tongue, although we think it looks really cool.
