How cute and not only would this be good for kids but for your kids to give to there teachers or other classmates if having a party.  Maybe give to grandma, or your mommy...another fantastic ideal Jenny.

I love this.  As a child I read about a girls who had nothing to make valentines for her school mates.  She ended up making valentine cookies.
