3d heart Valentine's decoration |
Cut two heart shapes out of card. Colour or decorate. If appropriate write one person's name on one heart and another person's on the other. Cut a slot down the centre of one heart from the "dip" to just over half way. Cut a slot half way up the centre of the other heart starting from the point. Slot the two hearts together. |

Handprint hearts |
You need a piece of plain paper and contrasting paint e.g. red paint on white paper or white paint on red paper. Make one handprint then make another at a slight angle with the finger prints overlapping and the palm prints making the "bulges" of the heart. Makes a lovely framed Valentine's gift for a parent or grandparent. |

Plaited ribbon bookmarks |
A more challenging Valentine's craft for an older child. Take 3 contrasting ribbons approx 40cms long. Tie together about 4cms from one end. Place flat on a table and ask someone to hold the tied end. Neatly plait together keeping flat on the table. Thread on a pretty bead then tie end to secure. (Adult can iron the plait flat if necessary). Sew on small beads or sequins to decorate. |
