Bunny Heart

Our young ones love to celebrate Valentines Day! In Bunny Heart we are celebrating love by creating a bunny face made of hearts. The heart background is made with a easy homemade stamp. Little ones can practice their letters by writing single word messages in the hearts…just like the candies. You can finish this project out with some glitter and sparkle for added texture and fun.

Things you will need

As a teacher, I have found that gathering your supplies and resources before starting your art project makes creating art so much more fun.

The following are some ideas for this project I hope you will find helpful.

Idea one: Gather the supplies listed on the supply list.

Idea two: When printing out the template, cardstock will be easier to trace around because it is thicker.

Idea Three: In this video I did not spend much time on putting sparkles to the background. That was because I did not have the glitter paint I use in my classroom during filming. Have fun with any glittery media you have, the little ones love this part.

Idea Four: Watch this short video to learn how to make a heart stamp from a paper roll tube.

Project Time

Before we start a project it is always a good plan to review the supplies and other things that may be needed. You do not want to get into the project only to learn that you do not have that one essential item. Let’s review now, Click here..
