Children design a valentine person card. The following poem is used in conjunction with doing the craft.

I made this heart just for you

See the hands and the feet

See the eyes and nose too

And the smile looking so sweet

This is my special way to say

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

1. Children trace a heart outline. Add facial features to represent a heart shaped-face (eyes, nose, smiling mouth).

2. Paint or color the heart-shaped face.

3. Cut 4 thin strips of red construction paper.

4. Accordion fold these strips.
