Everything about this raccoon is made of hearts! This Valentine’s Day card uses heart-shaped paper cutouts in different sizes to build an adorable raccoon face. It’s the perfect way to tell someone you’re wild about them.
Materials
- Brown and black construction paper
- Googly eyes
- Glue
- Scissors
- A pencil
Steps
- Cut the hearts. Cut one large brown heart (the face), four medium black hearts (the mask and ears), and one small heart (the nose).
- Assemble the face. Glue the two medium black hearts across the eye area to create the raccoon’s signature mask.
- Add eyes. Glue googly eyes on top of the black mask hearts.
- Add ears. Glue the two heart shapes upside down for ears (as shown) to the top corners of the face.
- Add the nose. Glue the small heart at the center bottom of the face.
- Write your message. Flip the card over and write “I’m WILD about you!” or your own valentine’s message on the back.
Grownup help needed: Younger kids may need help cutting small heart shapes.
