Free Printable Build A Cupid Craft!
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for festive crafts, and what better way to celebrate than by creating your own Cupid?
Our Free Printable Build a Cupid template makes it easy for kids to cut, paste, and assemble a charming Cupid character.
Cupid is the Roman god of love and a symbol of Valentine’s Day. He is a chubby, winged boy with a magical bow and arrow. When he shoots an arrow, love follows!
We think he is the cutest character we have designed yet—we hope you love him as much as us!
Check out our other Free Valentine’s Day Printables.
Our Free Printable Buildable Characters are an excellent activity for kids of all ages, whether at home, at an activity group or club, during homeschooling, or in the classroom.
Papercrafts like our cute buildables help kids with their cutting and pasting skills. They can be creative with other materials, such as sticking on pieces of fabric or sequins or using glitter glue.

How To Use the Build a Cupid Printable
- Download the PDF file at the end of this post and print as many copies as you need onto white paper. For best results, use good quality, thick/heavy paper.
- Alternatively, you can use the pieces as a template to trace onto colored paper or card stock and build Cupid with them.
- Print the free printable at home, school, office, or a Print Shop. Then, cut the pieces out with scissors.
- The printables are suitable for children of all ages; however, some may need help cutting.
- Once cut, arrange the pieces to determine where everything goes before sticking them in place with a glue stick or sticky tape.
- We like using this roller glue because it is easy to use and has less sticky mess!
Craft Projects Using our Free Printable Cupid Template
- Adding Dimension: Mount the cutouts onto larger construction paper and embellish them with other craft materials, such as glitter, craft foam, or tissue paper. This is a perfect activity for art class.
- Laminating: This fun craft is still possible for tiny kids who can’t yet use scissors! Use a laminator to laminate the printable and cut out each shape, leaving a slight margin around them. Place Velcro Dots so the character can be assembled without cutting or gluing.
- Moveable Figure: Construct the character using split pins/brads instead of glue to make it moveable.
- Everybody Loves Puppets: Grab some popsicle sticks to make little puppets for role-playing or storytelling.
- Festive Decorations: Attach several to ribbon or string and hang them as bunting. They would make excellent decorations for a party or to hang around your classroom. Add colored paper to the back of each one for a neater finish.
- Mobile: Similar to the previous idea, assemble several characters and glue them back to back with some ribbon in between. Hang them at different lengths on a wire hanger for a cute decoration.
Roll-A-Cupid Game
- This idea is based on the classic dice game and is so much fun to play!
- To set up, print, and cut enough Cupid pieces for each player, assign each piece a number.
- Depending on the number of pieces, you may need to use one or two dice, or combine pieces so that each has a corresponding number.
- After rolling the die, the player picks up the corresponding piece to build their Cupid.
- If players roll a number for a piece they already have, they skip their turn.
- The winner is the first player to collect all the parts and assemble them!
