Last Minute Fun:

I know Valentine's Day is tomorrow, but I just had to post a few more things for people who still need a couple of finishing touches for their parties. 

These Valentine Wands are super easy, and your students will LOVE finding them on their desk as a special surprise tomorrow.

Here's how to make them:

Run off the master on red/pink construction paper.

Cut out the hearts.

Cut the smaller back heart out of old file folders so that the wand is sturdier and won’t flop over.

Insert skewer into straw.  This will make it sturdy so it won’t bend. The point will stick out about two inches.  I don’t like to just use a skewer, as little ones wave their wands and I don’t want to chance them poking each other accidentally.  

Glue the heart on the back on top of the skewer point. Tape the skewer in place.  I’m big on finishing touches so I added two stickers to cover the tape.

Cut 3 pieces of 15-inch long curling ribbon. Use one strand to tie all of them to the end of the heart and curl the ends. I think metallic really gives it that extra sparkle.

You can simply write a student’s name on the back, leave it plain or really add pizzazz by writing their name in glitter glue.  It’s worth the extra effort for the “wow!” effect you’ll get.

Lay them name up on your students’ desks on party day.
