V-day Art, Writing, and Reading

Valentines from the Teacher
This is a really easy and super cute idea for Valentines for your class that I got from Cara over at The First Grade Parade.
First, trace your hand and then curl up the two fingers with a pencil. Cara used a straw in hers, but I found these cute V-Day pencils on the dollar aisle @ Target and wanted to use those instead!
Just tape whatever you choose to the back of the hand. Voila- easy and super cheap!
