Gifts from the Heart

By Kymberly Pratt

Next, using the green construction paper, cut thin strips to act as stems for heart flowers. You can cut leaves out separately or cut them out as part of your stem. You will also want to cut out pink hearts of varying sizes to act as your flowers! Glue your flowers into the "pop up" section of your card. Now when you open your card, you should see a vase of heart flowers "pop up" at you.

You can decorate the front and insides of your card with more cut out heart flowers or markers. Help your child write a message to her friends, family or teacher!

Handprint Treasure
What you need:
Red construction paper
Pink construction paper
White paper doily
Red paint
Scissors
Paper plate
Markers

What to do:
Glue the doily to a piece of red construction paper. Next, cut out a heart slightly smaller than the red doily using the pink construction paper. (See tip below.)

Now, help your child press his hand into the red paint and make a handprint onto the pink heart. If you do not want to use paint you can trace your child's hand with a marker and let them color it in. Glue the finished heart onto the white doily, then help your child write a message on the paper.

Tip: Fold your paper in half and cut out half of the heart on the fold. If you do this, your heart will be a perfect shape.
