Every year we love to get our students to make Valentine’s Day card to either hand out to friends or take home to their family. We like to keep our craft sessions as independent as possible, so we try to find cards and craft activities that are easy for them to make.
This year, we made this adorable cat card. First, us staff made our own copies of the cards. We use these ready-made cards to show our students what they should be making. It also helps to encourage them to work independently.
What You Need
- White A4 Card – folded in half
- Pink card cut into a heart shape
