The Heart Pocket Craftivity is a creative and hands-on Valentine’s Day or kindness-themed craft that allows students to design and personalise a pocket-shaped heart. This pocket can be used to store notes of appreciation, kind messages, or personal reflections. Perfect for fine motor development, classroom displays, and encouraging positive peer interactions.
Students will cut, fold, and assemble their heart pocket using the step-by-step guide, then fill it with notes, decorations, or messages of gratitude.
