Valentine's Day Craft- Piggy Card

What you need
Pink Construction Paper
Scissors
Markers
Glue

Cut out a large heart out of pink construction paper. This will be the piggy's head.  On another sheet of pink paper, cut out two triangles (ears) and another, smaller heart(nose).  Also cut two 1/2 inch strips.  Glue the ears in place, and add detail if you'd like.  Take the two strips, and glue the ends together perpendicularly(in an L shape).  Now, fold the bottom paper over the top.  This should make it into another L.  Keep doing this to make a spring, and glue the tops together.  Once it dries, glue the base of the spring into the middle of the heart, where the nose will be.  Now, glue the heart shaped nose on the top of the spring, to make a pop-out nose.  Color two nostrils onto the nose.  Now, draw two heart eyes, and a pretty little smile.

You can add your own personal message to the piggy.

Craft- Christmas Cards

Santa Card
-What you will need
    White Construction Paper
    Scissors
     Glue
     Crayons/Markers
     Cotton Balls
Take the paper and fold it in half, "hamburger style".  Draw on a Santa, to where the left side of his head is on the crease of the paper, to form the card.  Color his hat red, cheeks pink, and skin orange, peach, or which ever color you have that is close to skin tone.  Now, cut Santa out, on both sides of the crease, so you have a Santa shaped card.  Next, cover his beard, mustache, and trim and ball of his hat lightly with glue, and cover it with cotton.  Now, write your personalized message inside.

Present
-What you need
     Green and red construction paper
     Scissors
     Glue
Choose whether you want the present to be red or green.  Now, take that color of paper and fold it in half, "hamburger style", to where the card opens upward.  Now, fold the other color of paper in half the same way, and cut a strip longways, making 2 strips.  Glue one strip midway down the card, horizontally, to make ribbon.  Cut the other strip to match the height of the card, and glue it midway, vertically, to finish the ribbon.
Cut out a small piece of white paper for the gift tag, and write "To: person's name, From: Your name".  Now, on the "ribbon colored" paper, and cut very thin strips, about half an inch wide.  Make a swoop, similar to the "Cause" ribbons.  Do this three times, and glue all three together to make the bow.  Now, glue the bow on the top of the card.  Now, write you personal message on the inside
