Create or find a Hershey kiss template online, printing the image onto card stock then using it to trace and cut candy accents from heavy tag board - one for each student. Cover each of the tag board shapes with aluminum foil to make them look like wrapped Hershey kisses and mount a student's picture onto each. Add the candy tags, using block letters to label each with a student's name and coloring the letters in with a blue marker {reminiscent of an actual Hershey kiss candy}. 2) The Hearts. Create heart cutouts from watercolor paper or coffee filters. Invite students to use liquid water color paints to create vibrant patterns and swirls. When dry, mount the watercolor hearts onto construction paper in assorted Valentine's Day themed colors {red, pink, magenta, violet, etc}, cutting them out once more and leaving a border of colored paper. Arrange the hearts around the outside of the bulletin board. Or, as Mrs. Williams did, opt to use the hearts for a mini lesson on symmetry. Provide your kiddos with a white heart cutout inviting them to fold it in half, crease it well, and once opened, add drops of craft paint to one side of the fold.
