Valentine’s Day is the next big holiday! To prepare for the big day, my kiddos and I have been making some heart-inspired crafts. My mom loves pink flamingos, so my children wanted to make her some special flamingo valentines. My daughter cut, glued, and drew her valentine all by herself while my son once again took a more abstract approach to his work.
Materials
- Pink and white construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Pink marker
Instructions
- Cut one large heart and one small heart from the pink paper.
- Glue the large heart slightly off-center on the middle of the white paper with the point facing down.
- Glue the small heart above and diagonal from the large heart at an angle.
- Use the pink marker to draw legs under the large heart.
- Connect the large heart to the small heart with another pink line.
- Draw a heart wing on the large heart with the pink marker.
- Draw eyes with the pink marker on the small heart.
- Add a special message on the valentine if desired.
- Display the heart flamingo Valentine’s Day craft.
