Very “Mice” Valentines

I made this Valentine years ago for the boys and decided to make them again yesterday with a friend’s two kids. They are super quick and easy to make (even if you don’t have the punches)! They also make good Valentines for your favorite cat… ;o)

First cut out a large heart from gray construction or cardstock paper that has been folded in half. Just cut out half a heart on the fold.

Then punch or cut out one smaller heart for the ear from the gray paper.
