Every year we’ve made a fun craft to go along with Valentines day and this year is no exception. This time though instead of focusing on the raining hearts, we made this Valentine Heart Tree Craft reminiscent of the ending in the book.

Supplies Needed:
- brown paper lunch bag
- cardboard
- 6-inch round doily
- red and pink cardstock or construction paper
- scissors
- tacky glue
- glue stick
Instructions:
1. Prepare your paper bag
Begin by laying your brown paper bag out flat. Cut a strip about every half inch across the bag, cutting halfway down the bag. Open up your bag.
2. Make base of the tree
Cut out a piece of cardboard to place in the bottom of the paper bag to help with stability. Hold the base of the bag and twist the middle to make the base of the tree.
3. Make branches
Take a few of the loose strips you cut and twist them together to make tree branches. Continue until all the loose strips have been made into branches.
4. Glue bag to the doily
Add glue to the bottom of your paper bag and glue it onto your doily.
5. Glue hearts all over the tree
Cut out small hearts from your red and pink cardstock or construction paper. Finish your Valentine Heart Tree Craft by using your tacky glue to glue the hearts all over your tree.
