Roberta’s Valentine: Sweet Pencils
This is my latest addition to the treat bags I’m making my class. They are going to LOVE these! What you need: pencils, ribbon, cardstock, one-hole punch, thin ribbon, beads What you do: For each pencil, cut a piece of ribbon about six inches long. Tie the ribbon around the top of the pencil (right below the eraser part). Make sure it’s secure (tie a knot). On one end of the ribbon, string a few beads. Tie a knot to keep them in place. Cut out hearts from the cardstock (one per pencil). On each heart, write “You’re all write, Valentine!” Punch one hole in each heart. On the other end of the ribbon, thread on the cardstock heart. Add beads to the bottom of the ribbon and tie a knot to keep it all in place.

Roberta’s Craft: Wrapped Valentine Candy Bars
I’m going to take a page out of my friend Alex Tiger’s crafty book and make up some delicious Valentine’s Day Candy Bars. These are super-easy to make, and totally fun to give (and get!). What you need:Miniature chocolate bars (or, if you’re feeling REALLY generous, full-sized ones), construction paper, glue stick, scissors, glitter or stickers What you do: Create a wrapper for each candy bar. You can do this by measuring the bar and cutting paper that will fit around it. Decorate that paper with different colored hearts or a label. Try using colors that look good together – and are ones that you’d see on Valentine’s Day. Using your glue stick, attach the label or hearts. Add stickers or glitter to your wrapper. Write on any messages that you’d like to share. Wrap the wrapper around the chocolate bar and secure it with glue. Give one out to all your friends this Valentine’s Day.
