Creating the Valentine Cuddly

Begin by cutting two large hearts from sheets of felt and using a hole punch to create holes around the outside edge of the hearts. Cut a long length of yarn, tying a knot on one end and threading it through the holes, effectively lacing the two hearts together. Start at the top and work your way around. That way, when finished, the two ends can be tied together in a pretty bow at the top of the heart. [NOTE: The holes should be big enough to allow students to thread the yarn without the help of a plastic needle, but you might consider having them on hand in the event a student is having trouble!]

Before closing the hearts completely, stuff the 'pocket' with a little bit of quilt batting to give it shape.

Tie the yarn in a bow, then add decorations to the front of the heart! Annie and her kiddos created a little heart 'cuddly' with heart button eyes and nose. You could also use sequins, gems, or more even yarn to spell out the word "LOVE", etc!

Super cute, right?! Be sure to visit The Moffatt Girls for this and other great activity ideas!
