Valentines Cards out of Foam

Description

Valentines foam cards are cute and easy to make. This was given to my girls in their pre-school class by a classmate. These also make a great make and take activity for a Valentine's party as a gift to send home to parents. There are many books you can read to introduce this activity.

Materials

• Colored Foam Sheets for the large hearts. You may find some pre-cut but if not make a stencil or use a cookie cutter and trace.

• Foam Letters and shapes (Stick on pieces are easier to work with)

• Sharpie pen or printed stick on labels

• Scissors

Steps

• Using either pre-cut hearts or stencils, cut out hearts if needed
• Arrange stick on pieces, peel and stick or glue
• On the back write with a fine point sharpie whom the heart is for and your child's name.
• You can tape a lollipop or treat to the back as well (optional)

Other Ideas

• Decorate with stickers, glitter, sequins, small letter beads, fabric or paint pens.
• Decorate like Conversation Heart Candy. Have each child pick their favorite saying.
• Make a class mobile or decorate your classroom door with a heart from each child
