What a Hoot! Valentine’s Day Craft for the Kids

Valentine’s Day might be marketed towards romance and coupledom, but no one knows how to show a love quite like a child can.  This sweet owl will be a hoot to make in the classroom – imagine the delight of your students as they declare to their families just “hoo” much they love them!  We created this Valentine’s Day Owl using products from our huge range of Art & Craft supplies: 

• Red Heart Stickers 
• Joggle Eyes Assorted sizes 
• Red paper 
• Pink paper 
• Paper plates 

Follow these simple steps to create this cute owl. We’ve also made you this handy Hoo loves you template to make things super easy.  Let the kids get really creative and experiment with different paper colours, decorative paint or feathers. There are no limits!

Step 1

Using red paper, trace two wings, one for the left and one for the right from the template provided, approximately 18 cm long and 7 cm wide.

Step 2

Position the wings at the top of the plate, as per the template provided and staple each wing into place.

Step 3

Again, using red paper, trace the larger of the two heart templates and then cut the red heart for the owl’s face.

Step 4

Place glue on the middle section of the red heart, before sticking it to the plate, on top of the wings.

Step 5

Using pink paper, trace and cut the smaller of the two hearts.

Step 6

Place glue carefully around the edges of the pink heart and stick to the centre of the red heart.

Step 7

Stick two joggly eyes and 1 red heart sticker for the mouth on the pink heart.

Step 8

Cut the two small hearts and stick at the bottom for the feet.

Step 9

Write your message on the middle of the owl.

Step 10

Leave to dry.
