What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Fold the half sheet of construction paper in half and crease to create your card. (See photo.)
2. Dip thumb in red paint and press onto card at a slight angle to the right. Repeat on the left, lining up the bottom of your thumb with the bottom of the first thumb print. This should create a heart shape. Let the thumbprint dry. (See photo.)
3. Use a black marker to write a Valentine greeting on the front of the card.
4. Add arms and legs with the black marker. Use a white paint pen to dot on two eyes. (See photo.)
5. When white is dry, add two black dots to the two whites with black marker. (See photo.)
6. Write a message inside the card.
   

Tips:

1. If you don't have a white paint pen, you can dot on white paint with a toothpick or the handle end of a small paint brush. 
2. Instead of construction paper, you can use colorful card stock for this project.
3. Construction paper provides hours of fun and stimulates your child's imagination!
