Here are two examples of simple and practical Valentine's Day cards you can make.

Card #1 would be perfect for a toddler/child and card #2 is universal. What's great about card #2 is that it is made with scraps from card #1!

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 2 cards

Supplies:

construction paper - for hearts and card bases
glue
scissors
dot label sticker
pen/marker

Steps:

Card #1 - Cut three assorted size/color heart shapes out. (Do not toss out the scraps, we will use that for Card #2.) Cut a piece of colored paper for the card base.

Position hearts and glue them on to resemble a caterpillar.

For the finishing touches, draw on legs and a face. Write your greeting of choice.

Card #2 - Using the scraps of the cut out heart, you can make another card. You will also need a square of colored paper to make the card base.
