Valentine Craft

Today at work we spent some time getting ready for next week's Storytime. Of course we will be doing Valentine's Day stories...and I found this cute flower craft in this month's issue of Family Fun Magazine.
I like the fact that it makes a cute valentine and also has a little treat! We used card stock...because it's a little more substantial than regular construction paper for the heart shaped flower petals, scrapbook paper for the inside portion of the flower and of course Dum-Dum lollipops for the center.

We used a special small hole punch on each of the pieces....so they could thread right on to the lollipop stick.



Have a little glue on hand...put a dab on each piece so they will stick together and also to keep them from shifting around when you're done.


Write your Valentine message on one or two of the "leaves" and thread them on last.

Then...just find a special Valentine to give it to!
