How to make these sweet ASL Valentines Day cards
Directions
This was another project where we didn’t need to go to the store for more materials, since we had everything already on hand!
Step 1
First, take the manila or white construction paper and fold in half.
Step 2
Next, trace your kid’s hand onto the paper, making sure to have your kid spread their thumb as wide as they can and to keep the wrist as close to the fold as possible.
Step 3
Then, using scissors cut out the hand through both pieces of paper like in the image. Kids can practice their cutting skills here!
Step 4
Now, fold the red construction paper in half, like shown, and press down the fold to make it crisp.
Step 5
Open the red construction paper and find the middle along the fold. This is where you will glue the traced and cut out hand from the manila or white construction paper. Line the fold of the hands up with fold of the red paper and open them up like shown.
Step 6
Then, using the glue stick glue the hand onto the red construction paper, making sure not to get any glue onto the middle and ring fingers (you’ll be folding them down in the next step).
Step 7
Now you’re ready to make the I Love You sign! Just carefully fold down the middle and ring fingers and add a small dab of glue to the ends so they’ll stay down. So easy!
Step 8
My daughter then used a marker to write a note to me for Valentine’s Day.
Step 9
Finally, let your child decorate the card with whatever they want. My daughter used red glitter foam hearts.
