Simple Ready-made card This is for some pupils who are reluctant to design a card. See preview pane.
Print off the sheet onto card or good quality paper.
Pupils can decorate and colour in and add their name at the bottom.
Then fold along the line to look like a card.

Second sheet with the heart should be printed on normal paper.
Tell pupils to decorate the sheet with the large heart on and then cut out to stick onto the front of the card.
