Conversation hearts are one of those love-’em-or-hate-’em kind of candies.  They’re not my favorites (they remind me of heart-shaped Tums), but they are one of those classic, iconic candies nonetheless.  If you’d rather non eat them, how about crafting with them instead?  Katie from Sew Woodsy turned a box of them into a set of magnets, sealing them up with a coat of sparkle Mod …

Here’s a simply sweet idea: a simple paper heart coupled with a lollipop flower. This idea is quick and easy enough to repeat for every kid in the class, yet clever enough to be unique.
