A personal card that is simple to make is the Hands and Heart card. Younger children may need help with the cutting from an adult or older child.

Hands and Heart Card

Children trace both their hands on pink, white or red construction paper. Make sure they trace part of their wrists to glue onto the heart. Cut out the hands.

Draw and trace out a heart that is comparably larger to the size of the children’s hands. The heart should be a contrasting color to the hands so they will show up against each other.

Bend the area of the wrist so when the hands are glued down they will open and close over the heart so you can read the message underneath.

Spread glue on the wrist area of the hands and press them into place on the heart. Keep in mind you need room to write a message underneath the hands. Hold them in place briefly and let them dry.

When the hands are dried onto the heart, bend them back into place and hold them there until they stay on their own. Write a message with a marker or pen saying “My heart is in your hands. Happy Valentine’s Day. Love, ________.”

Special Treats for Your Loved Ones

Hide special treats in the lunch bags, backpacks or briefcases of the ones you love on Valentine’s Day. These could include lollipops, candy necklaces, small boxes of chocolates, message candy hearts and even a rose (not for children). It will make the day even more special as well as surprising when they open their lunches or bags.
