Pin-Rolled Valentine Card

 

From  Martha Stewart Living?

 

Cut strips of paper about ¼-inch wide and of varying lengths.  (You do that.)  Maybe you could use a paper shredder to make this job quicker.  Then have students roll these strips using round toothpicks.  Then they can stretch out the rolled papers to make all sorts of shapes, especially hearts.  They can make a big heart with little curlicues inside.  They have them glue these hearts onto a piece of cardstock or construction paper to make a card or picture.

 

This is harder and more tedious than it sounds.  I would only try it with 5th graders.
