These make great class projects.
Once complete, the children can give them as gifts for mom and
dad. Plus many of the supplies are probably items you already
have on hand.
Here are the instructions for the kids:
- Valentine gift bags
Decorate the outside of a plain brown, red or white paper
bag using stickers, markers, ribbon, etc. Inside the kids
can tuck a handmade card and a sweet treat.
- Special lollipop treats
This works best with larger, flat, round lollipop. Cut out 2
circle from pieces of construction paper, one per lollipop.
Decorate the paper with special messages, stickers, etc.
Attach a piece of paper to one side of the lollipop with tape,
attach one to the other side.
Each child can make several lollipops to give as gifts for
family and friends.
- A bouquet of handmade flowers
Use popsicles sticks to create a stem. Color these stems
green with markers or paint. For each flower cut 6 petals
and one small round center in various colors of construction
paper (these could be pre-cut for the children to assemble).
Assemble the 6 petals around the circle and glue together.
Then glue the finished flower to the stem. Make several
flowers to create a bouquet. Tie the bouquet together with
green pipe cleaner.
