A few pieces of candy, some colored paper, markers and glitter are all you need to help your kids craft some super cute Valentine's Day cards for friends and family.
Supplies:
- Card stock in your choices of colors (at least two different colors are recommended)
- Pipe Cleaners
- Smarties, Dum Dum Suckers, or any long, narrow candy of your choice
- Small pom poms
- Buttons
- Markers and glitter paint (for decorating and writing a Valentine's note)
- Scissors
- Glue
Directions:
- Cut card stock in half for the base of the card (each 8.5x11 sheet of card stock will make two cards).
- Write a message on the bottom of the card stock.
- Use markers and glitter paint to decorate a separate sheet of card stock for the wings.
- Cut pipe cleaners in half, then twist them around a pencil/pen to curl.
- Glue pom poms on top of pipe cleaners (a hot glue gun comes in handy here).
- Glue two small pipe cleaners toward the top of your card (for antennas).
- Cut two slits halfway down the page, to slide candy through.
- Cut child's drawing into hearts and glue hearts in the middle of the card stock to resemble wings.
- Glue button in the middle of hearts.
- Lastly, slide the candy in one hole and back out the other to secure. You shouldn't have to glue anything to the candy, the candy will simply slide into your card!
