1st grade Valentines craft

[cjcouple]

I volunteered in DS's class in Feb to do a small craft with the kids.  Any ideas what a good one is or have you seen any in the stores that were cute?

I don't have a specific idea right now - but I know when DD1's first grade class got to pain at Halloween they had a ball. So my vote is something fun & messy!

When DS was in first grade, we did a "Valentine Tree" craft. You need construction paper, brown crayons, finger paint (pink, red, purple), and a heart outline.

Take a couple of pieces of construction paper and cut out large hearts, save the outside part. Use the crayons to draw a tree trunk and branches. Lay the heart outline over the tree branches and have the students finger paint the "leaves." Take the outline off and let dry.

Pony bead bracelets/necklaces? do you have a budget?

"Stained glass" hearts using contact paper and tissue pieces?
