An easy heart robot Valentine craft made from paper roll.
I always have paper rolls at hand.
I collect them the same way I collect cardboard boxes, rocks or pine cones.
You never know when inspiration strikes, right?
Does my husband never miss a chance to make fun of me because of this? Well, that’s another story.Paper rolls can be easily turned into Valentine’s Day crafts for kids: from love bugs to heart mice. We keep our crafts simple and this makes them perfect for kids as young as preschoolers.

How to make a heart robot craft
Step 1: Paint the paper roll white and let it dry. Apply another coat of paint if necessary.
Step 2: Cut two or three thin stripes of aluminum foil. Glue them at the bottom of the paper roll.
Step 3: Use a pencil tip to poke two little holes on both side of the paper roll and insert the pipe cleaner through the holes to make the arms.
Step 4: Cut out a heart from red cardstock paper and glue it to the front of the robot. Bend the pipe cleaners to the front to make it look like the robot holds the heart in its hands.
Step 5: Glue the googly eyes at the top of the paper roll and draw the mouth with a black marker.
