Friendship Rings! From spoonful.com

Total Time 1 hour Ages school-age

These flashy rings let a kid wear her heart on her finger. Cupid's Tip: If you make your ring from craft foam, you won't need a hole punch; simply poke the pipe cleaner through the foam.

What you'll need

• Scissors
• Craft foam or card stock
• Faux fur fabric (optional)
• White glue
• Small hole punch
• Pipe cleaner
• Faux jewels, buttons, craft foam shapes, etc
• Marker or pen (optional)

How to make it

1. 
   Cut a heart shape from craft foam or card stock. If you use fabric, first glue a small piece of the fabric to foam or card stock, allow the glue to dry, then cut out the heart shape.

Unless you're working with foam (see Cupid's Tip, above), use a small hole punch to make 2 holes, centered, in the heart. Cut a 4-inch length of pipe cleaner. Bend it in half and push the ends through the holes from front to back as shown.

Place the ring on your child's finger to measure the size. Twist the pipe cleaner ends together until the ring fits comfortably. Remove the ring and trim and tuck any excess pipe cleaner.

Glue on faux jewels, buttons, craft foam shapes, or other items for decoration. Allow the glue to dry. Use a marker or pen to write a few words on the back of the ring, if you like.

Book Of Love

Total Time 1 hour Ages all-ages

Kids already have Mom's heart pretty well sewn up, but there's no sense taking chances, and this whimsical notepad leaves no doubt as to who holds the strings.

What you'll need

• Red paper
• White paper
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Yarn

How to make it

• Cut out a red paper heart (ours is about 6 inches across). Trace and cut out 10 to 20 more from white paper. Stack up the hearts in bunches of five, folding each bunch down the middle.
• Using a tapestry needle, poke holes every 1/2 inch down the center folds (young kids will need Dad's help with this step).
• Stack the hearts together with the cover on top.
• Thread the needle with yarn, knot one end, then sew it through the holes, knotting it at the other end.
• Decorate the cover and seal with a kiss.
