DLTK's Crafts for Kids
"Hoppy" Valentine's Day Kangaroo Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

What better way to say "I love you mom" than with the creation of this Mommy and Joey Valentine's Duo!

A different looking kangaroo toilet paper roll craft can be found here.

Print out the craft template of choice.
Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces.
Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
Glue the mommy's head to the top of the tube.
Glue on the pouch and then glue the Joey's head over top so it looks as though he's peeking out of the pouch.
Glue on the heart onto the middle of the pouch.
Glue the legs onto either side of the body.
Fold the tail in half so it's colored on both sides, then use the tab to glue it to the back of the body, giving it a three dimensional effect.
Alternative Decorating Ideas:
Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate the heart.
Use the template for the black and white printer on white paper and color in the pieces with crayon, marker, paint, etc.
Use the template for the black and white printer on brown coloured construction paper. Print a second template on white paper and mix & match the pieces

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
