Do you want to learn how to make a heart using just a piece of paper? It’s easy and fun! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a paper heart in no time.
All you need is a square piece of paper. You can use any color you like!
First, take your square piece of paper and fold it in half diagonally. This means you fold it from one corner to the opposite corner. Now, you have a triangle!
Next, take the two bottom corners of your triangle and fold them up to meet the top corner. This will make a smaller triangle shape.
Now, fold the bottom edge of your triangle up towards the center. Then, fold the left and right edges towards the center too. Look at that! You’ve made a diamond shape.
To make the heart shape, fold the top corner of the diamond down to meet the bottom edge. Then, fold the two top corners towards the center. These folds create the two rounded top curves of the heart.
Now that you have your paper heart, you can decorate it! Use crayons, markers, or stickers to make it special. You can even write a nice message on it and give it to someone you love.
Wasn’t that fun? Now you know how to make a heart with paper. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a paper-folding expert!
Heart Hunt: Go on a “Heart Hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for heart shapes in everyday objects, like a heart-shaped leaf or a heart pattern on a piece of clothing. Draw or take a picture of what you find and share it with your friends or family. Discuss how these natural or designed heart shapes are similar to the paper heart you made.
Heart Size Experiment: Try making paper hearts of different sizes. Use small, medium, and large square pieces of paper. After making each heart, compare them. Which one was easier to fold? Which one do you like the best? Talk about how changing the size of the paper changes the size of the heart.
Heart Story Time: Create a short story or a drawing about your paper heart. Imagine your heart is a character in a story. Where does it go? Who does it meet? What adventures does it have? Share your story or drawing with your class or family and see what stories they come up with too!
