Adorable Paper Heart Stuffies (For Valentine's Day!)

Valentine's Day is coming up.... which means that Valentine's Day Crafts are probably on your mind.  If your kiddos love cute things, staples, and crumpling paper (or candy).... then this is the craft for you!  These adorable paper heart stuffies are poofy crafts filled with kawaii goodness. 

We stuffed ours with crumpled paper, but you could definitely fill these up with candy too!  (And if you like my specific design, I include a template below.  Score!)

Let's Make this Cute Valentine's Craft!

1.  First, print out my free heart template onto red pieces of paper.  You'll need two hearts: one for the front,and one for the back.  (I included the lined heart in case you wanted to write your own message.)

2.  Then, cut the hearts out.  (If you want to write/ draw your own design, now would be the time to do it!)

3.  Then, if you want arms and legs, cut out those pieces as well too.  Accordion fold them to give them a little pizazz!  And tape them onto the back of your face piece.

4.  Then, grab your stapler and staple the front and back pieces together for about 50-75% of the way.  You'll need an opening to stuff your heart!  (Grown up staplers can be kind tough for kids to handle.  We've always used a mini stapler since it's easier on little kid hands.)

5.  Stuff your hearts!  (We just used paper, but I think these hearts could be adorable "envelopes" to fill with candy or tiny toys!)

6.  Then, staple the stuffy shut and you're all set!

Hope you have fun making these with the kiddos!  We just made red ones... but I'm thinking it would be really neat to make them all different colors like conversation hearts.  Wouldn't that be cute?  You'd just need to print the templates onto a pack of pastel paper!

Happy making, friends!
