2. If you have younger children, glue the heart pattern onto a piece of construction paper and let them glue fun foam shapes on the background.

3. If you have older children, they may want to make a 3D picture. Have them cut on the heart shape starting at the bottom of the page. When they have cut out the whole heart shape, turn the page over and tape the bottom cut edge closed. Then glue the page onto a piece of construction paper around the edges. Do not glue the heart shape down.

4. Glue little squares or rolled up paper to the back of the heart in the middle of the picture and to the construction paper behind it so that the middle heart stands about a half an inch above the construction paper background.

3. Give each child a heart and a piece of tape. Let them take turns trying to "pin the heart" to the child so that the heart is on the heart in the picture. Before a child takes his turn, have him say one thing that makes their heart happy. The child who gets their heart closest to the heart in the picture wins.

 

 

 

Print out heart shapes onto red card stock (Heavy Paper) and cut them out. Have your children draw a happy face on one side. Have them think of one thing they can be thankful for and write it on the other side of the heart. Roll up a piece of tape and tape it to the back of the hearts and to the children's clothes. Or punch holes in the hearts and tie a string on so they can wear them as necklaces.
