Step by Step Tutorial
Print out the heart templates and let the kids color them with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
To make one 3D paper heart, you’ll need 4 individual hearts, which means printing two template pages.
Carefully cut out all four heart pieces along the solid lines.
Fold each heart template in half along the dashed line in the middle. Make sure to crease it well so the fold stays nice and sharp!
Apply glue to the back side of one heart half. Then press it onto the back side of another heart half.
