Valentine Mouse
Make a mouse pocket that you can collect all your Valentine's Day cards in.

Materials Needed:
  • Construction Paper
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Glue
Instructions:
Cut a large, white heart out of construction paper. Fold the heart in half; the fold on the point will be where you make the mouse's nose! Glue the edges closed, but leave an opening on top if you want to use it to collect Valentine's Day cards or treats. Draw a black spot on the point to be the mouse's nose (or you can even use a small pom-pom). Cut out small heart shapes to be the ears and even smaller heart shapes to be the eyes; glue them on. Use a black marker to draw whiskers, and cut out a thin strip of paper to be a tail and glue it on.
