Valentine’s Day is a fun time for children to

exchange cards and candy. But it also carries a

greater life lesson: Learning how to show others

love, kindness and appreciation.

Here are four Valentine’s Day crafts that will

brighten your students’ day – and allow them to

share that same joy with someone else.

• Regular, loose-leaf

notebook paper

Directions1) Cut each piece of notebook paper in half horizontally, giving each

student a half-sheet.

2) Fold one side of the paper over, leaving ¾ of an inch of space in

between the two ends.

3) Apply glue on the ¾ of an inch of open space, and fold the glued

end over the non-glued end to seal it off.

4) Fold one of the open sides of the bag like you would a gift, sealing

it with stick glue. This will be the bottom of your treat bag.

5) Cut the only side of the paper bag that’s still open with the

decorative-edge scissors.

6) Put the candy hearts inside and close with a vintage sticker.
