Valentine Puppy Craft Details:
Age Group: 3+ yrs
Difficulty: Easy
Time To Complete: 10 minutes
This is such a fun, creative Valentine’s craft for preschoolers, although even my seven-year-old loved it. Children three and above can use scissors to cut out their own hearts for their Valentine’s puppy. However, if you think your child is ready before this age, that’s great!
They will also be able to pick out the puppy’s accessories because every child’s dog should look unique, adding different colors to ears, face, eyes, tongue, etc.

Create Your Valentine Puppy Craft
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need pink, red, and white paper to start. However, feel free to change the color of your paper. Maybe make a red dog with white ears; however, you prefer to do.
Collect other supplies as needed. You’ll need a pencil, glue, scissors, googly eyes, and a few pom-poms.
Step 2: Cut Out Your Valentine’s Hearts
To keep from having an asymmetrical heart, fold your paper in half, then draw half a heart. Next, let your child follow your pencil marks to cut his or her paper hearts out.
When you are done cutting, you should have the pieces shown above three hearts and a puppy tongue.
Step 3: Assemble Your Valentine’s Puppy
Now it’s time to assemble your Valentine’s puppy. Start by gluing on its ears and placing its eyes where you desire.
Lastly, glue its tongue down, followed by its nose and little whisker pom poms.
This was such a fun Valentine’s puppy to create. When you are done, feel free to display it around the house. Or you can help your child create a nice Valentine’s note on the back and have them give it to a family member of your choosing.
