The heart lady below is made of all hearts except her hair, arms and legs. For younger children have all shapes of hearts available to assemble a person and for older ones you can have templates or have then cut their own heart shapes.
Face-eyes are three different heart sizes, nose is upside down small heart, and mouth is small red heart.
Hat-made from upside down heart, folded over about a half inch in the middle to fit better.
Body-Mid section is same size as head, arms and legs are long strips of paper folded accordion style. Hands and feet are small hearts glued on.
Skirt is three-four upside down hearts glued to body.

Not much time: Use markers and crayons for face.

The bean bag toss game is a valentine theme but could be made for every day use by using another shape besides a heart.  You can adapt this game for older children by writing blends and digraphs (ex: str, bl, sh) or high frequency words on the hearts.
