Procedure:

  1. Starting at the center of the short side of the construction paper, take a pencil and draw a line from one end to the other.

  2. Starting at the center of the long side of the construction paper, take a pencil and draw a line from one end to the other. Your paper should now be divided into four sections.

  3. Out of the second piece of construction paper cut the following shapes:

    1. One medium rectangle

    2. One circle

    3. One triangle

    4. Two small rectangles

  4. Now you will arrange the shapes in each section so that they create the word, LOVE:

    1. One small rectangle positioned in the top left section to create the letter L

    2. One circle in the center of the top right section to create the letter O

    3. One triangle in the bottom left section to create the letter V

    4. Two small rectangles in the  bottom right section to create the letter E
