Today I am sharing some valentines projects with you. The first project is pretty easy. You will need two sheets of pink or red construction paper I did mine with pink. The paper, some cute dollies. and little foam hearts where all purchased at the dollar store and all you need for this project, I buy a lot of my craft items there to keep the price down. Once you have what you need take one piece of construction paper and fold it in half than take a scalloped edge scissors and cut a half moon going from the open flap to the crease, I brought the scissors at hobby lobby for 2.99. Once the heart is cut out open it and get some glue, the other piece of construction paper glue the heart to the paper. Next you take and layer two heart dollies, I layered my off center using one white and one red. The last thing to do is to take the little hearts and make two eyes and a nose. The package of hearts come in different sizes so I took two different sizes and glued the bigger ones down first than the smaller ones inside the bigger ones. I took some little hearts and using the colors red and white decorated the top of the heart. It came out cute and no mess. Little hands will have fun designing this one! The Second Project can be done as a family project all you need is a 6inch foam flower ring I brought at the dollar store, Ribbon any color will work I used yellow, little hearts and glue. An adult may have to help glue the ribbon on to the ring, I glued the ribbon real tight around the ring than let it dry. The children can add the little hearts of different sizes all around the ring. I layered the little hearts around the ring so no ribbon is showing. For this project you will need pink or red construction paper and little foam hearts. First take the paper and fold it in half and using the scallop scissors cut a half moon from the open end to the crease. Open the heart and put little hearts on using glue, Have fun and be creative! I would like to include a valentine's book to read by one of my favorite authors Eric Carle "Love From The Very Hungary Caterpillar" The pictures are brightly colored and it is similar to his" Very Hungary Caterpillar" book.
