Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Let’s make a puffy heart today <3
Valentine’s Puffy Heart
Referring to our post here, cut a heart out of hard construction paper to be used as the template. Let the kids trace the outline of the heart on white hard construction paper.
Cut the heart out. Younger kids might need assistance in cutting the heart.
Paint the heart red. Let dry. Repeat on the other side.
Using a hole punch, punch a hole on the heart.
 Cut long strips out of crepe paper. Cut again into small squares.
Crumple the crepe papers squares into tiny balls. You’ll need plenty of these.
Today, let’s surprise Mom with a heart shape mouse.

Do you have difficulty making a heart? I mean, do you find it hard to draw a heart that looks even on both sides? You might find that one side is bigger than the other or loop sided or anything else. It is actually very simple to make a symmetrical heart shape. Let’s do it now 🙂
Get a piece of paper.
Cut out the shape of half a heart.
There, your symmetrical heart shape. It can never be too ugly no matter what 😛
There’s nothing a mother loves more than a handmade handprint flower bouquet from the little one. This Mother’s Day, let’s get the little tots to do something for us 😛
Mother's Day Handprint Flower Bouquet
Draw your handprint on various colour papers.
Cut them out.
Paste them onto a piece of paper; the handprint being the petals.
Arrange and paste them until they form a flower.
Cut a piece of felt as the stalk and some heart shape as the leaves. Paste them.
Done! A bouquet of handprint flowers for Mommy! Boy, he doesn't look too happy 😛 😀
Anney was planning to arrange the fruit skewers into a terracotta pot but she saw this picket fence planter box and thought it was cute.
She used a floral foam for the base and embellished the planter box with vines and a ladybug.
She used cookie cutters to cut out the shapes.
Pretty.. just too pretty. Use lots of heart shapes for this coming Valentine's Day 🙂

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Let’s make a lovely paper heart garland 🙂
Paper Heart Garland
You'll need a long strip of coloured paper.
Cut a heart shape on one end of the strip.
Fold the heart shape and fold the rest of the paper strip.
Once you are done folding, cut along the heart shape. Be careful not to cut on the sides of the heart.
Unfold it and you'll get yourself a lovely paper heart garland 🙂 You may want to use it to decorate your Valentine's Day card, notice board or basically anything! This Valentine's Day.. let the hearts flow 😀
