Valentine craft ideas

Misc.
My granddaughter and her friends love to craft easy things and I find tons of ideas at the following two sites:

http://www.theideabox.com/special.nsf/valentines.html
http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/_Val.html

As an example, this is from ideabox and the one we'll be trying this year (need to save those laundry scoops though).

Scoop of Love
Need: Laundry detergent scoops and either conversation hearts or Hershey's Kisses/Hugs.
Instructions: Wash & dry scoops well. Fill the scoops with choice of candies, cover with cellophane and tie with a bow. Add a message to a cut-out heart-shaped tag that reads:
For conversation hearts: "A scoop full of love for you from ......." or "A scoop full of kisses..." or "A scoop full of hugs..."

Mosaic Hearts
Need: construction paper (for a few we used the craft foam that cuts like butter), scissors, glue and crepe paper or tissue paper.
Instructions: Cut out a large heart. Cup up small pieces of construction paper (either pink or red but not the same color as the heart) and glue them all over the heart. You can also use pieces of crepe paper which are crumbled up.

Other projects they loved were Thumbprint Hearts, Laced Hearts, Sponge-Painted Valentines, Valentine Handprint Poem (actually we changed the words and used it with the Thumbprint), Paper Plate Valentine Holder, Valentine Butterflies, Beaded Valentine and more!

Kidsdomain has a wonderful Heart Bingo game but the kids would have to know their numbers.

I'll go through my craft folders for ideas for the seniors. I take it you are doing two different crafts.
