Let's have a Valentine themed puppet show! All we need are a few Valentine characters to start the fun.
Kids can create characters to represent family members or friends, or simply use their imaginations to create new characters.
This activity is fun for kids from ages toddler to kindergarten, and even older kids can join in the fun.
There's lots of opportunity to be creative: choose paper and crayons; cut out paper shapes; design a unique character; glue the pieces together.
The template is easy to download and print.

Complete the project with paper and craft supplies you have on hand. Resulting 'characters' will be as unique as the children who make them.
A character can be made up and silly, or based on a person your child knows in the family or community.
Cutting, coloring and gluing don't have to be perfect. Kids can arrange the pieces in their own ways.
Results will vary according to the skill level and creativity of each child.
