How to make a DIY I Woof You Valentine’s Day card
What you need:
- pencil
- drag
- glue
- white and black cardboard
- colored cardstock (we use light blue, brown, dark brown)
- black marker
Step-by-step instructions
A card
To make cards, use letter-sized (A4) paper: whole sheet to make large cards (perfect for younger children) or cut in half to make smaller cards to fit in envelopes.
Have the child fold it in half to make a card.
Dog
You will need a piece of brown (or other colored) paper roughly the size of the card. Have children draw a triangle on paper.
The bottom of the triangle can be as wide as the folded card (a little narrower is fine).
Cut out the triangle.
Make a dog from a triangle
Gently fold the top toward the center of the triangle.
Apply some glue and attach the folded part.
Apply some glue to the bottom part of the card and stick it on the brown image.
Additionally, you can apply glue to the dog’s back instead of applying glue to the card.
Ears
Ask the kids to fold dark brown cardboard (or any other color of their choice) in half and draw an ear-like shape on it.
Cut according to the shape – they will cut both ears at the same time because the paper is folded.
Have your child glue ears to each side of the dog’s head.
Eyes
To create your puppy’s face, have them cut out two white circles and glue them to the face.
Then they drew two black dots for eyes.
Instead of drawing eyes, kids can also use googly eye stickers or googly eyes.
muzzle
To create the puppy’s snout, have your child cut an oval from black cardstock and glue it to the dog’s face (at the top of the folded triangle).
“I solicit you” speech bubble
Draw a speech bubble on white paper and cut it out. Outline it with a black marker for a more cartoonish look and glue it above the dog to the card.
It’s time to send fun messages! Ask your child to write the message “I love you” inside the speech bubble. They can really write whatever they like, but we think this pun works great!
