“Wild About You” Valentine Print
What you need:
- card template (you can get it at the end of the tutorial)

- printer
- scissors or box cutter (or both)
- decorative tape (clear tape will do)

How to Make a Wild Valentine’s Day
Print Valentine cards on thicker paper – this will make it easier and quicker to do.
You can also print them on regular printer paper and use wallpaper or colorful wallpaper as the background for the card.
Use scissors or a box cutter to cut each card.
If you’re printing them on plain paper or just want a colorful background for added contrast, cut out rectangles from colorful paper.We like textured paper because it really makes the card stand out. You will need to make the rectangle a little larger than the printable cards.
Glue the printable cards to the base. Glue works best because it won’t wet or wrinkle the paper.
Use glitter tape or washi tape to attach small wildlife to each card.
Some small animal toy sets also come with a book containing information and facts about the animals.
Why not cut out those facts and glue them to the back of the card. This way your students not only have a fun toy to play with, but also learn something new about the animal on the card.
Your cards are ready to enjoy. They’re perfect for classroom exchanges!
