Valentine Mice Cards

Fold a paper heart in half and find the mouse.  The nose and whiskers are at the tapered end,
 draw them in.  For the tail, glue a 3" long string on the inside of the fold (opposite the
 end with the nose and whiskers), and let it hang out. Add a greeting on the inside.

Variation:  Cut a large heart shape from construction paper. Glue a small length of yarn for a tail
 at the top of the heart but let it hang off of the heart. Fold in half like a teardrop. Stuff with a little
 cotton. Glue edges of heart shut all around. Tail should be hanging out. Cut a small heart for
 his ears. Fold heart in half. Glue on rounded part of big heart so they
 form an ear on each side. Add whiskers, eyes, and a little pink nose.

My Heart Is In Your Hands Valentine Card

Spread some love with these valentine keepsakes.  To make one, a child dips his hands
 into washable red tempera paint.  Then he presses them onto a sheet of white
construction paper so that the palm prints are side by side and the thumbprints
and fingerprints overlap.  When the paint is dry, cut around the heart; then add
 a message, the child's name, and the date.

Lacy Valentine Cards

Cut out a heart shaped valentine out of red or pink construction paper. 
Use white gummed reinforcement circles for the "lace."  Let the children
 lick and stick the white reinforcement circles around the outlines
 of their heart shapes to create fancy "lace-edged" valentines.

Special Hugs

Trace a child's hand onto a piece of paper, then cut out the hand shapes. 
Have the child glue the hands to the ends of a colored sentence strip so that
 the fingers extend outward.  Next, have the child glue paper hearts onto the strip.
  Make a copy of the following poem and glue it onto the strip.  Encourage the child
to present the hug by wrapping it around the recipient's shoulders and squeezing gently.

I know you miss me when I'm away.
So I made this hug for you today!
This special hug from me to you
Will give you hugs all day through!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Heart Rubbings

Cut out different sizes of hearts from sandpaper. Tape hearts to table and lay a sheet of white
typing paper over them. Use side of crayon to lightly rub over hearts, making a pattern on paper.

Variation:  Set out a large square of plastic lace (available where self-stick paper is sold).
Cut heart shapes out of plain white paper.  Let the children take turns placing their hearts on
 top of the plastic lace square and rubbing across them with red crayons.  If desired, let them
  glue their lacy heart rubbings on folded sheets of red construction paper to make valentine cards.

Hands That Touch The Heart

Encourage the children to make handprints on white paper by dipping their hands in red paint. 
 They then cut the handprints out of the paper.  Next, a large red heart shape is cut out of red
 construction paper.  The heart is glued onto a large sheet of white paper with some space left
 around the outside.  Finally, the handprints which have been cut out are glued onto the large
 red heart -- hence the hands that "touch" the heart. Then write "Hands That
 Touch The Heart" around the outside of their red heart (on the white paper).

Heart Bears

For each child cut from construction paper one bear shape, five small heart shapes to glue on
 the bear's paws and nose, and one large heart shape to glue on its chest.  Let the children glue
their hearts on their bears.  When the glue has dried, let the children add eyes and other details with felt tip markers
.  On the back of each child's bear, print "A Beary Happy Valentine's Day!" and help the child sign his or her name.

Lacy Heart Valentines

Give each of the children a heart shape cut from white construction paper and a folded piece of
 red or pink construction paper.  Let each child punch holes around the edges of his or her heart
shape with a hole punch to create a lacy look.  Have the children glue their hearts on the fronts
 of their folded papers to make valentine cards.  Let them add other decorations
to their cards, if they wish.  Then help them sign their names inside their cards.

Homemade Valentine Cards

Hang onto the advertisements from the Sunday paper and special inserts that have valentines day sales.
 Have the kids cut out valentines related pictures, and glue them onto a big red heart, or make them
 into valentines cards (fold a piece of construction paper in half and let them at it). You should
 be able to find pictures of flowers, boxes of candy shaped in hearts, etc.

A Handful of Love

Help each child trace around his or her hand on a piece of red construction paper. 
 Let the children cut out their hand shapes (or cut them out yourself).  Have the children
 glue their hand shapes on paper doilies.  Then have them glue their doilies on pieces of
pink construction paper.  On each child's valentine use a red felt tip marker to print
 "A Handful of Love from _________" and help the child sign his or her name.

Sending Valentines

Fold and trim red, pink, and white construction paper to make cards that will fit inside envelopes.
  Let your children decorate the cards for their parents and grandparents.  Put each child's card(s) 
 into an envelope and address it to the child's family.  Help the children put stamps on their envelopes.
  Take the children to a mailbox and let them mail their valentines.

Candy Kisses Card

Here are some kisses from me to you
Because I love you and all that you do!

You could then cover a big construction paper heart with candy kisses with the
verse in the middle.  And have the children decorate them as they like ...if you wish.
Or paint them prior to putting on the candy kisses.
