6 Heart Shaped Animals with FREE printable PDF's ~ Heart Shaped Chicken Valentine crafts for kidsI love how easy this little chicken was to put together.  The hardest part was the 3-D beak (but you could just use a regular heart).  We created the beak by folding the heart in half, then folding the rounded edge into the center.  We also chose to cut the edges of the wing heart, but you could just fold them to the back as well.

The alligator face is actually created with a large heart.  Simple cut the top of the heart off right where it begins to curve.  The kids had fun adding all the little alligator teeth.  We liked them bumpy, but would look a little more intimidating with the pointy end out.
