DLTK's Bible Crafts for Kids Stuffed Heart Craft Even the youngest crafters can make this project.  It's great for the children in the preschool room in a Sunday School to make and hang from the ceiling. Includes quote from John 3:16 " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

• scissors
• stapler
    
• cotton balls or shredded newspaper
    
• IF HANGING:  short piece of string, wool or ribbon
    
• OPTIONAL:  finger paint  (or tempra paint and brush)
    

Directions:

• OPTIONAL:  
  • Let the children paint the templates with finger paints or a brush and tempra paint
  • Allow to dry.
      
• Cut out the hearts (adults will need to help with this)
    
• Staple all the way around the edge of the hearts, leaving an opening at the top
    
• Stuff hearts with shredded paper (kids age 3+ love to help with this step).
    
• Finish stapling the heart closed
