Candy Man Playing Card

Materials Needed:
2 - Playing cards (heart suit)
Red construction paper
Red pipe cleaners
Black marker
Lollipop
Stapler
Tape
Template


What to Do:
Using template, trace and cut out both small and large hearts on red construction paper.
Cut pipe cleaners so that you have four pieces. Two of them should be about 2 inches long and two of them should be about 3 inches long.
Instruct children to:
- Make a happy face on the larger heart.
- Write name on the small heart.
- Take one of the playing cards and turn it face down.
- Tape the pipe cleaners to the back of the card to form arms and legs.
- Make loop at the end of one arm to hold the lollipop.
- Poke pipe cleaner end from other arm through the heart with the name on it, and bend up so it "holds" the heart.
- Bend the bottom of the longer pipe cleaners at angles to form the "feet".
- Put rolled loops of tape on back of first card.
- Lay second card with back facing down, on top of the rolled tape.
Staple one staple in to the top center of cards.
Using rolled tape, invite children to tape a heart with face on it on top of staple.
