This section is from the book "Busy Hands: Construction Work For Children", by Isabelle F. Bowker. Also available from Amazon: Busy Hands: Construction Work for Children.
Material: A picture card 2 in. x 3 in.; red cardboard 2 in. x 5 in.; a yard of baby ribbon, scissors, pen and ink.
Cut three hearts from the red cardboard. With a quarter of a yard of the ribbon suspend each heart from the picture card - one from the center of the lower edge of the card, and one from the center of each side, as in Fig. 4 (preceding page).
Tie a loop and bow to the top of the picture card.
Write on each heart as follows:
(1) May pleasures be yours,
(2) As you journey along,
(3) In spite of all ills which to mortals belong.
Write 1 on the left-hand heart; 2 on the center heart, and 3 on the right-hand heart. The words may be printed, if so desired.
