Heart Animals




 Gather your supplies. You will need scissors, glue, different colors of paper 
to cut into different size heart shapes! (we added googly eyes to ours, too, because 
we are making a fox!) Be creative and make as many different animals as you want! 


Cut several hearts in all different sizes to use to create your animals. 


Glue hearts together to form whatever animal you are working on. We 
chose to make a fox! Add googly eyes; if desired.


You made Heart Animals!!!

Do you know who made the real animals?

God did!
