8. Shake heart, to release all extra glitter. Set aside to dry.
9. With other heart, have you child decorate with markers/crayons. After artwork, together write a Valentine's message to that "special someone." **My child is two, so I asked him, "What do you want tell Gramie for Valentine's Day?" He told me a few words, so I wrote them on the card for him..it was really cute.
10. Once glitter is dry, staple one side of the hearts together {glitter heart as the cover} creating a card.
11. With the child's "cut out hand," fold and glue/staple down the two middle finger, making the expression "I Love You" in sign language {see image below}. Glue/Staple on the front of the glittery card.

Read Aloud:
I'm a Little Heart
Tune: "I'm a Little Tea Pot"
I'm a little heart as you can see.
I'm rounded at the top like a lazy three.
Then on my bottom, I'm a great big "V".
I'm a heart. Will you love me?
