Who could resist a love note on this adorable little mouse.
With a little help from you, your child can make enough for the entire class. 
Materials:
Construction paper with a glue stick or 
craft foam with a hot glue gun.

Cut a large heart for the body. You'll need three small hearts 
for the eyes and nose and two even smaller for the center of the eyes. Attach eyes with glue, using the above diagram.
Make a hole with a hole punch to attach the tail.
Cut two small slits by the nose with scissors. Make the whiskers by weaving the pipe cleaners through the slits.
Then glue the nose to the point of the heart. The last step 
is the Valentine note on the mouse -->
"I love you more than cheese !"
"I'll share my cheese, if you'll be my Valentine."
TIP - Use a piece of self stick magnet strip to 
make a refrigerator magnet.
