Valentine Creature Cards

Materials Needed:

• Old deck of playing cards
• Red pipe cleaners
• Red construction paper
• Black marker
• Stapler
• Round ball lollipop for each card

1. For each card you will need a heart playing card for the front and an extra card to use as the back. Only the back of this card will show.

2. Cut arms and legs from red pipe cleaners. Hold them in place by stapling them between the two playing cards.

3. Cut a heart-shaped head from red construction paper and draw on a face with a black marker.

4. Staple the head to the top of the card creature. 5. Cut a smaller heart and write the name of the friend you are giving the card to on the heart.

6. Poke it onto one of pipe cleaner hands.

7. Wrap the other arm around a lollipop. Bend the bottom of the pipe cleaner legs to form feet.

8. With a little bending and arranging of the legs, these figures will stand up if you wish to use them as table favors at a party.
