>Bear image is smaller than actual pattern.I’ve had my ‘heart hat’ on all week and have being thinking of valentine ideas
that I could share with you. All that hard thinking has paid off and I’ve
designed a beary nice valentine to make with the little ones. It’s been kid
tested and my grandson (6 years old) successfully made some of these for his
classmates at school. I’ve even gone one step further and reduced a lot of work
for you by making a sheet of these that you can print off from your printer
directly onto construction paper. I’m putting a single pattern on this page for
those of you who want to be ambitious and draw each one for yourselves. If you
want the complete kit that you can print off then all you have to do is log onto
my forum,
Forum Link
and post a request for them. I’ll email them off to you asap. You can either
register on the forum; adding your e-mail address on your profile before you
post (so I know where to send it) or you can just add your e-mail address in the
post. Make sure you give me an e-mail address so I can e-mail them to you.
This special package is for those that post on the forum only. I’ve printed out
the sheets on my ink jet printer and it works great. I have no experience with
construction paper on a laser printer so experiment at your own risk.
Happy Crafting,
Grace
Supplies

Sharpie pen
Glue stick
Bear and heart pattern
Here are the directions you will need to finish the valentine.
Single Valentine directions:
Heart
Trace rectangle shape onto red or pink construction paper and cut out. Fold
ends at fold lines and draw half hearts on each end (see picture). Make sure
the curves of your hearts extend to the fold lines. Cut out heart but do not
cut through the fold lines. You want the heart to stay in tact so it opens up
like a card.
Bear
Trace the bear onto a piece of construction paper. You can make them different
colors like the Care Bears or use brown for teddy bears. Draw the face and
additional lines needed to make him look bear like.
Cut out bear and fold his arms at the fold lines.
Place and glue the back of the valentine heart to the tummy of the bear. Fold
the bear’s arms at the fold lines and glue his paws onto the front of each side
of the heart.
Open heart and write your greeting. We decided to write “Your Beary Nice” on
each of ours.
You now have an original and unique Grace Valentine.
