We made a Valentine Heart Tree recently; I should really let my kids loose to make them completely on their own! Here is the prototype (but shame on me, I cut out the hearts!): http://roots-of-simplicity.blogspot.com/2010/02/craft-of-week-colorful-cutout-paper.html This would be a perfect precursor to adding cutouts to the hearts to hang on a tree.

Last year I had to change it a little because I had a child that didn't like the fold line - they wanted a flat heart. We have lots of recycled copy paper, so I had them fold and make a heart the size they wanted. Now I had them open it up, lay down on the 'good' paper and trace around it. Now they could cut out a flat heart. It was a simple extra step, but solved what had become a real issue for this child. Success was worth the little extra time. Hope this helps anyone else that might have children with a strong need for flat hearts. This is an idea I’ve used successfully for years.
