Valerie Rush from Michigan thought her kids got enough candy at their school Valentine's Day parties, but she still wanted to give a special Valentine party favor. That's when she started making pencil mice with 
her kids. "They've given them to classmates for two years and the kids still love making them. "

Directions
From red, pink or purple paper, cut out several hearts approximately 
4 inches across. On each, draw a nose and eyes. 
Punch four holes above the mouse's nose. 
Thread a short length of pipe cleaner through the top two holes 
and another through the bottom two. Lastly, slip a pencil down 
behind the whiskers, from the backside of the heart.
