Cassie Caraway came up with a healthy way to express her affections. The Osceola, Nebraska, first-grader polled her classmates about their favorite fruits, then wrapped up a collection of vitamin-rich valentines -- apples, oranges, and bananas -- each with a juicy pun attached.

Prep Time: Under 1 hour
What you need:
	Apples, oranges, or bananas Cellophane candy or gift bags (available at craft or party supply stores) Decorative ribbon Scissors Card stock Marker Hole punch
Seasons: Valentine's day
Materials: cellophane, fruit
Instructions:
1.	Place a piece of fruit in a cellophane bag and tie it closed with a length of ribbon.
2.	Cut a heart from the card stock and add a message. Or use our template.
3.	Punch a hole in the heart, slip it onto the ribbon, and tie a knot to keep the note in place, if needed. Suggested messages: "Orange" you glad it's Valentine's Day? You're the apple of my eye! I go bananas over you, valentine! Note: Banana skins can turn brown and mushy if exposed to extreme temperatures. If you think this could happen before your child gets to exchange the Valentine, we recommend giving a non-perishable love note.
