Classic Valentine's Card

Doilies, glitter, and hearts!
Don't forget the classic Valentine's Card this year! 

Homemade Valentine's cards are extra sweet when they come from a beloved little one, and even if the giver doesn't appreciate them, your child will enjoy making them. 

To make this classic design you will need the following materials:

1 8" doily
1 sheet of red paper
Glitter (I recommend the glitter glue pins because my daughter can use these with little supervision.)
Glue

Directions
1.  Cover your work surface with newspaper or a sheet of paper. 
2. Cut out a heart from the red paper. 

For instructions on how to create a heart use the following link: http://www.ehow.com/how_2181972_cut-heart-shape.html
For a heart template use the following link:

3. Glue the shape in the center of the doily. (Note: the glue will seep through, so pull it up from the newspaper occasionally to ensure that it doesn't stick.)

4. Allow your child to decorate.

Heart Happiness!
