sequins, buttons, glitter, glue and anything else they or you can
think of to add on!

grass seeds and keep the sponge wet so the children will have a
growing heart. They can even give the hearts "hair cuts!"
Make a decorate cookies or cupcakes. Use your favorite cake mix
and icing and decorate with candy hearts, red hots, sprinkles and
anything else you can think of.

paper or wrapping paper and adding on lace, ribbons, paper cutouts,
heart doilies and anything else in your craft pile.Kids can then
put their Valentine cards in the box!
Use paints or food coloring to make Thumbprint Valentines by making
two thumbprints into a heart shape and then add facial features
. The child then can add the following - "Thumb Body Loves
You!"
Play Cupid Chase by putting blindfolds on all but one (He will be
Cupid) Tye a small bell to the childs shoe strings or on a string
for a necklace.Then Cupid runs around the room anywhere while the
blindfolded kids try to to catch him by listening for the bell.When
