Provide glue and craft pom poms.  Let the kids make a fuzzy heart by gluing pom poms to circles around the heart.

Fuzzy Heart

Lacing cards are a great way for kids to practice fine motor skills.  Use a hold punch to punch a hole over each circle.  (You can even let the kids try a few punches on their own.)  Have them thread ribbon or yarn up and down through the holes.
