Path to a Happy Heart Craft

What you will need:
Card Stock (Heavy Paper)
Construction paper
Scissors and Glue.
What to do:
1. Print out the pattern on to colored card stock.
2. If you have younger children, glue the heart pattern onto a piece of construction paper and let them glue fun foam shapes on the background.
3. If you have older children, they may want to make a 3D picture. Have them cut on the heart shape starting at the bottom of the page. When they have cut out the whole heart shape, turn the page over and tape the bottom cut edge closed. Then glue the page onto a piece of construction paper around the edges. Do not glue the heart shape down.
4. Glue little squares or rolled up paper to the back of the heart in the middle of the picture and to the construction paper behind it so that the middle heart stands about a half an inch above the construction paper background.
