Valentine's Flowers

Last year I found this activity in the February 2010 Family Fun Magazine and loved them.  This year I decided to take them in the institute nursery that I was in charge of.  It was a little ambitious and next time I think I would just make them in advance and let them color them there.  Today I cut everything out in advance, then let the kids color the hearts (flower petals) and then I taped them together.  It was a little exhausting but they just turn out as such cute Valentines.  The ones I did in nursery were with construction paper and I had a leaf on the back with a name or message on it.

Just cut out three hearts, a 5 petal flower for the middle and a leaf for the back.  Put a hole punch through each.  Crease the hearts in the center and then put a dum dum sucker through each and tape it secured how you want it.  Write a Valentine message on the leaf.
