Use the largest heart template pattern included in the sampler download membership (get a free coupon code at www.Tools4PreschoolandKindergarten.com ).
Print off two of the hearts for each student. These can be printed onto red paper or have the student decorate it for individual uniqueness (my favorite).
Cut out the pair of hearts and place the one Valentine heart on top of the other (stack them). Hole punch the bottom edges and have the student 'sew' the two hearts together with yarn. This creates the bottom of the basket.
Optional .... if you would rather have the student not sew the basket ..... do not hole punch. Use Glue and / or staples to connect the two hearts on the lower portion - forming the basket.
Now - use a strip of construction paper (and staple onto the heart basket top) to form the handle. This is the easiest but not my favorite. Optional: Use pipe cleaners for the handles (hole punch on both sides and loop the cleaners through the holes forming a more stable and strong handle) or use yarn with holes punched as above (with the pipe cleaners). The handle can be made nearly any length using yarn - just cut it to the desired length.
