How to make a Pizza Valentines card!
First you will need to take the colour paper that you are using for your pizza base. Cut out a large heart and glue it near the top of your folded card.
Cut out a slightly smaller red heart and glue it down on top of your first heart to make your tomato base.
Now you will need to cut out your pizza toppings! My son wanted to make his dad’s favourite pizza, so we cut out some yellow strips for cheese, some grey mushrooms and some pink heart shaped ham pieces.
Glue your toppings down onto your pizza. We did the cheese on the bottom and then the other toppings on top.
Add your favourite pizza pun and your card is finished! All you have to do now is write your special message inside.

Coloured Paper Googly eyes Pom Pom Yarn Glue Scissors
First you will need to make the body of your mouse. To do this cut out a circle from your coloured paper. We find the easiest way to get a perfect circle is to draw round a mug or some tape. Once you have your circle, cut one straight line in to the centre of it as shown above.
Now bring one side over the top of the other to create a round pyramid shape and secure it with tape or glue
Next, cut out a heart for your mouse’s face. Stick it onto the cone by gluing over your join line up to the point as you can see above. You may need to pull the edges of your heart forwards a bit to position the face better.
Cut and stick two small hearts for the ears and give your little mouse two googly eyes
Measure and cut a few equal lengths of yarn. Glue them at the bottom point of your heart to create whiskers and then glue a pom pom on top for the nose.
To finish off your mouse you need to make a cute curly tail! Cut a thin strip of paper. Take one end and roll it up to the other to create a spiral, loosen ot slightly then glue the outer end to the back of your mouse.
Your mouse is finished! How adorable does he look?
Valentines day is the time of the year where we show those closest to us how much we love and appreciate them. For me, I think its a great holiday for children. It teaches the importance of expression and appreciation of those who deserve it. Personally I don’t think there is any better valentines gift than a handmade card; it doesn’t cost much to make and the effort that goes in to it means more than anything you can buy. This heart jar valentines is so sweet and easy to make. its great for older children to practise using scissors and as a sticking activity for smaller children.

To start, take your piece of card and fold it in half. Cut the shoulders of your jar in to the top of your card.
Take the paper you are going to use for the lid and cut out two equal rectangles. Glue the first to the front of your card. Now, flip your card over and line the second one up on the back. This will help weigh it out so that your card can stand easily.
Now for the fun bit! Cut out several coloured hearts and stick them down all over your jar.
To finish of your card simply add your own super cute message to the lid. All that’s left to do now is to write inside and give your card to someone special!
