Valentine’s Day will be here soon and it’ll be time to take down the winter decorations and put up the hearts. This hanging hearts decoration says, Bee Mine. You’ll find, “Bee Mine, Hanging Valentine,” in the 3rd Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
A nice hanging classroom decoration.
If you need some quick, easy Valentine cards, these fold up into an envelope cards are just what you want. Each sheet of the pattern has three bunny cards with different sayings. Just color with colored pencils or crayons, cut and fold, and write the recipient’s name on the flap. The directions for “Bunny Valentine Card,” can be found in the Valentine’s Day Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
Check out this cute little owl card. It’s very easy to make so you’ll probably want to make a few of these at a time. The samples I’ve made are for Valentine’s Day, but the cards could easily send a birthday, get-well, graduation, or anniversary message. This project, “Owl Valentine Card,“could be made by any grade, so you’ll find the directions in the Valentine’s Day Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
This little frog is all ready to deliver a message and a candy bar. There is a space between the front and the back of the frog where a candy bar can be placed. The front insert on the frog is left blank on the pattern so you can write any message you want. I’ve put a Valentine’s message on the sample, but this little frog could also be used as a place card and favor holder. A message like, Hoppin you have a Happy Birthday, or I’m hoppin mad I forgot your birthday, are just a couple of other possibilities. The directions for “Frog Card” can be found in the Valentine’s Day Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
Artist Kathy Kromer has a website at, http://www.kathykromer.com/_hearts001.htm that not only shows her art, but also has an artists’ bio page. Intensity is her trademark. Although she uses acrylics on canvas, with this project we attempt to copy her art using colored construction paper and oil pastels. I’ve included this project, “Hearts And Flowers,” in the Valentine’s Day Projects Gallery in the sidebar because any class 3rd through the 6th could easily do it.
Beware you’re going to get bitten by the Love Bug. The sight of these little bugs makes you want to giggle and make a ton of them. If you were going to have a Valentine party, they would be perfect little name cards to gift your guests with. This week the 3rd Grade are going to be making these. We should get lots of unique bugs!! The directions for “Love Bugs,” can be found under the Valentine’s Day Projects Gallery in the sidebar. Click the photo on the left to see three different bugs.
Valentine You make me feel like Dancing. That’s what our Valentine card says to the lucky person who receives it. I’ve included this, “Dancing Hearts,” project under the 1st Grade Projects Gallery tab in the sidebar.
If you click on the picture at the left, you’ll get a full view of the project.
Nothing says loving like a homemade Valentine card with a heartfelt message. This is a very easy project that any grade can make.
Therefore you will find the directions for, “Valentine Card,” under the Valentine’s Day Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
