Love Bear Cards
Aren’t these love bears the most adorable things! Made simply from construction paper or cardstock, they can be made in no time at all and are a great Valentine’s Day activity for your kids, or for a class or group.
Using the free template (which is available in two paper sizes – A4 and US Letter; the download is further down this post and surrounded by a purple box) trace around the different bear parts and use glue to stick everything together.
Write a little love note and pop it behind the bear’s paws and give it to your Valentine!
Use any colors you like to make the bear or you could even color in the printable with crayons instead.
