<p><strong>Simple Ready-made card</strong> This is for some pupils who are reluctant to design a card. See preview pane.<br />
Print off the sheet onto card or good quality paper.<br />
Pupils can decorate and colour in and add their name at the bottom.<br />
Then fold along the line to look like a card.</p>
<p>Second sheet with the heart should be printed on normal paper.<br />
Tell pupils to decorate the sheet with the large heart on and then cut out to stick onto the front of the card.</p>
