Here's a cute & easy Valentine's Day craft that your kids can make for their classmates or friends.

You'll need:  cardstock or construction paper (red, pink, or whatever color you want your valentines to be), wiggly eyes, craft sticks (popsicle sticks), glue, scissors, a red pen, and Hershey Kisses or other small treats for the nose.

Cut heart shapes from the cardstock, or let your kids.  For my 5-year old, I cut out one heart, and then let her use it as a stencil so she could trace & cut the others.

Let your child glue on the eyes (ask them "where should the eyes go?", then use double stick tape or a rolled piece of scotch tape to afix the Hershey Kiss as the nose.  We used Valentine Kisses which have special notes that say "I Love You."

Glue the craft stick to the back of the heart.  Add a message on the stick like "You're Sweet" or "Friends are a Treat". 

Options: Cut out small white pieces of paper (hearts or rectangles-whatever you want) and write a short message, then glue this to the back of the heart.  For non-chocolate lovers, you might try other small wrapped candies like starbursts or a red hard candy.
