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.

Instructions

- Use a glue stick to attach the inner ears, muzzle, and cheeks.
- Stick the eyes in place, and the nose on top of the muzzle. Use a black marker pen to draw on a mouth and eyebrows.
- Place the paws on both sides of the bear with the round ends towards the middle of the body.
- Holding them in place, carefully trim the overhanging edges to match the body outline. Stick the "shoulder" end of the arms in place with a dab of glue.
- Fold the card in half and stick a heart on the front. Write a tiny note inside.
- Slide the notecard under the bear paws and your card is complete!
