Flannelboard: Six Little Valentine's find it on Pinterest from Flannel Friday

Six Little Valentines were sent to my house,
The first one said, "I love you, From Mouse."
Five little Valentines in my mailbox,
The second one said, "Be mine, Love Fox."
Four little Valentines full of love,
the third one said, "you are sweet, From Dove."
Three little Valentines just for me,
The fourth one said, "Be my honey, Love Bee."
Two little Valentines mailed with care,
The fifth one said, "Here's a hug, From Bear."
The last little Valentine, from my friend Jay,
This one said, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

• She also cut out a butterfly body shape with a 2 slits for the pencil to fit in. 
• She trimmed the pipe cleaners and hot glued the super-small pink hearts onto the tips.
