Homemade Valentines are much better than the store-bought kind and these butterflies are truly unique.

Materials:
Red or pink construction paper
Red string licorice
A stick of gum
Valentine stickers and heart shaped sequins
Markers or crayons.

Cut heart shapes from the construction paper and place on either side to the gum to form wings. Secure with tape or a heart-shaped sticker. Using two pieces of string licorice, fashion antennae and tape in place at the top of the stick of gum. Decorate the “face” of the butterfly with mini heart stickers or sequins. Have your child write a Valentine message and sign her name on the wings.
