Do you need an easy Valentine’s Day craft this year? This adorable Paper Bag Love Robot is perfect to give to any family member or friend! You even get to spend time together as a family while crafting, plus your kids are busy and working on something fun!
Paper Bag Love Robot
Valentine’s Day is a favorite in our family. What better time to focus on love! All the pink and red crafts are just so cute.
We recently got through a few Construction Paper Valentine’s Crafts, so I knew these Paper Bag Love Robots would be perfect for my kids. When we’re finished, we’re going to make our own Valentine’s boxes. We might even put a version of these robots on them!
Paper bag puppets are so fun for kids, too, because they encourage make believe play when they’re finished crafting. Your family is going to love spending time together, working on a fun craft project.
When you’re done with these robots, our Tissue Paper Valentines Crafts and Toilet Paper Roll Valentines Crafts could be so fun for your family!

Directions
- Print and cut out the template patterns. You can use small paper bags for this craft or make your own customized paper bags from brown paper. You can also make this craft without using any bag. The robot template includes some small patterns. Select different colored papers for the robot structure. Trace and cut out the patterns.
- Attach the strip cutout with round corners along the top side of the head cutout and attach the other strip cutout along the top side of the body cutout (the square piece). Attach the ear cutouts and the antenna cutouts together to complete each pattern.
- Attach the ear patterns on both sides of the head pattern and attach the antenna pattern on the top-middle part of the head pattern.
- Attach the eye cutouts on the head, near the top part.
- Use a sharpie to draw the mouth and some dots (bolts) along the top side of the head.
- Attach the leg cutouts on the bottom side of the body pattern.
- Attach the body pattern on any one side of the paper bag, near the open end. The open end of the paper bag will be the bottom side of the puppet. Flatten the bottom part of the paper bag with the front part.
- Attach the head pattern on the flattened bottom side.
- Attach the arm cutouts on both sides of the body part, keeping the arms faced inside. Trace and cut out a heart shape and write down a message on it. Slide the heart shaped piece under the arms to complete the craft.
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t be tied to our colors! Let your kids be creative and make their robots theirs.
- Use this same craft for a variety of holidays, or any day of the week! Leave off the heart and you’ll have some adorable robots for any occasion!
- If you want to use this as a decoration or as a friend Valentine, create the robot without the paper bag! Simply piece the cutout pieces together without the bag, and you have an adorable robot for friends or family.
