While we often buy valentines for class parties, my kids also like to make homemade valentines for their friends and family. So over the years we’ve made cell phone valentines, valentine hearts with pencils, heart fish valentines, and painted valentine hearts. Most recently we made these valentine heart flowers.
Valentine Heart Flowers:
All you need to make these valentine heart flowers are pink, purple and green construction paper, flat lollipops, glue and markers. Begin by cutting out hearts, slightly wider than the lollipops, from the pink and purple paper. Then write the valentine messages on the hearts before gluing the lollipops to them. Next, fold a piece of green construction paper and cut out leaves along the fold so each pair of leaves is connected in the middle. Finally, put glue on the leaves and press the two parts of each leaf together around the lollipop sticks.
