4 Fun Cupid Facts
The cupid is a symbol of love and is associated with Valentine’s Day. Here are 4 Fun Cupid Facts for Children:
Cupid is the Roman god of love
He is often shown as a baby angel with a golden bow and arrow
Cupid comes from the Latin word “Cupido” and means desire.
Cupid is the son of Venus (goddess of love and beauty) and Mars (god of war).
Cupid and Psyche
In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of love. He is the son of Venus, the goodness of love and beauty, and Mars, the god of war.
The story of Cupid and the Psyche tells, that Cupid fell desperately in love because of his arrow with the princess Psyche and married her. Since she was mortal she was not allowed to look at him but did so eventually. Cupid go upset, left her, and went to heaven.
Psyche went looking for her husband to apologize when she met Venus.
But Venus was jealous because Psyche was so beautiful that people came from everywhere to worship her and forgot about Venus. Therefore she gave Psyche a nearly impossible task. She had to retrieve a box from the underworld which she did. She wanted to know what was in the box and opened it, that’s when she fell into a deep sleep midway.
Cupid missed his wife and found her asleep. That’s when he went to Jupiter the leader of the gods and asked for his help. Jupiter saw that Cupid and Psyche were truly in love and granted Psyche immortality so she could be with her husband forever!

2. C is for Cupid
Add our easy cupid printouts to your preschool alphabet lesson plan. While learning the letter C print out the upper and lowercase letter C worksheets. Let your students trace them and use our cupid outlines to make a craft project for the C sound.
It is important to study each letter individually so your students can form memories of each letter and memorize them easier.

You can adjust the difficulty level depending on your children’s age. Use the larger picture of Cupid for younger children and the medium-sized or small Cupid printable for older children.
Instead of coloring the cupid sheets with markers, they can also try various new painting techniques to make it more interesting. For example, did they try Salt Painting yet? It is really fun. Take a look at the link to find the full tutorial!
4. Cupid Stencils
Use one of our printouts as cupid stencils for Valentine’s day or wedding crafts. I recommend taking the smaller or medium-sized cupid printables to repurpose them into cupid stencils.
Our most loved painting technique for stencils is using an old toothbrush. With the help of watercolors, you can create beautiful cupid artwork.
First, you would have to print and cut a preferred Cupid pattern and then follow the toothbrush technique instruction. You can find the complete Toothbrush Technique Guide here. Enjoy!
Do you need Valentine’s card or invitation? Then use our printout Cupid and turn them into an adorable Cupid card.
Why not use the following template, fold it in the middle, and let your children color the cupid nicely. Place your text inside the card and you are finished. Pretty easy isn’t it?

Take the medium-sized template. Print and cut them out. Use clear tape to attach them on the back to a string and you are good to go. Now you only need to find a good place to hang them up!
