DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Candy Valentine Butterfly (or Dragonfly)
This is a great craft/Valentine card/Valentine treat for
children to make for their friends, family or classmates.
My youngest daughter calls it a butterfly and my oldest
calls it a dragonfly.
Thanks to Georgia for sending this idea in!

Aunty Lisa adds: if
you're a scrapbooker, you can use a scrapbook heart punch to quickly
punch out perfect little heart shaped wings!

Quick Version:
If you're making cards like this for an entire classroom, doing
cut and paste crafts for all of them will take a long time. The templates
below provide an alternative that's a fair bit quicker when making cards in
bulk.
|
 |
|
Print out the template
|
|
Cut the template in half (each template makes two
cards)
|
|
Cut out a bunch of construction paper hearts (fold
the construction paper a few times and cut a half heart shape to
make a bunch of same size hearts at once) |
|
 |
|
Glue the two construction paper hearts on as wings
|
|
Tape a small bar (Mars, Starburst, Aero, etc) on as a body. |
