"I Love You!" Cards

I have always liked the idea of giving hand made cards for Valentine's Day. When Aaron was in kindergarten, he came home with this adorable I Love You symbol made from construction paper. I decided to make these this year as our card for the grandparents.

1. Trace your child's hand.
2. Cut it out along with a small heart to fit in the palm of the hand.
3. Glue the heart to the hand.
4. Bend the middle and ring finger down to form the "I Love You" symbol.
5. Glue them in place.
6. Glue the hand to a piece of construction paper or card stock that has been folded in half.
7. Here is Madelyn with her card. She drew a picture inside for her Nana and Poppy!

    This is an adorable variation to a handprint project. Very cute and still personalized!

    Those are so great! I think I know what to drop in the mail for the grandparents tomorrow- and I am sure they will like them better than the pack of Nerds the rest of the 2nd graders are getting!

    Soooo cute. I saw an idea like this doing paper piecing, but it's much cuter when it's actually a trace of your cuties' little hands! Love it. =)
