Special Valentine's Day Handprint

Difficulty: Very Easy

Age: 4 and up

Parental supervision is recommended

What you'll need:

Computer, typewriter (optional)
Pencil, pen, crayons, or marker
Construction paper or poster board
Candy conversation hearts
Glue

How to make it:

Type or have your kids print this poem on a sheet of paper. This isn't just any handprint, as you can plainly see. For it is a special handprint, made with love by me. Along with the handprint I send hugs and kisses your way, And wish you a very "Happy Valentine's Day!"
On a heavy sheet of construction paper or poster board, either trace with a crayon or press your child's hand with paint.
Write your child's name and date next to her handprint.
Now, invite your child to glue on conversation heart candies as fingernails.
Proceed to attach the written poem to the cardboard print with glue (trim it to size if necessary).
