Valentines from the Heart

Want an easy, from the heart project to do for Valentine’s Day? Here is a great one our friend and colleague made with her children for their Grandparents! These special and unique Valentines were done by 3-6 year olds, so feel free to fancy them up as appropriate! Enjoy!

Materials:

• Large Clothespins
  
• Various festive colors of Cardstock paper (you may want to pre-cut hearts or have templates made up for younger ones)
  
• Yarn (for the hair)
  
• Colored Pens
  
• Glitter Glue (less messy than pure glitter!)
  
• Glue
  
• Round Magnets
  
• Glue Gun (for adult use only)

1. Cut out heart in proportion to the clothespin (it will be the “body”), leaving space for the face and feet.

2. Write a lovely message on the heart.

3. Decorate it with glitter. You can stack two different sizes and colors of hearts on top of each other for a cool effect! Glue heart on the clothespin to make the body.

5. Draw a face. Color in feet.

7. Glue on cut pieces of yarn for the hair.

8. Have an adult glue the magnet on the back of the clothespin.

9. Let sit to dry

10. Give as a Valentine’s Day gift to someone special to hang on the refrigerator!
