Attach the head to the card with a small piece of paper 2" x 3/4". Fan fold the piece of paper before attaching it. Attach one end to the back of the bunny's head and one to the card where the bunny's head should be. This will cause the head to move up and down when the card is moved.

Sweet Gift

Michelle Bradley shared this idea with us on our bulletin board - Fill an empty baby food jar with a cinnamon sugar mixture, put the lid on, and cover the lid with a paper cupcake holders with red hearts on it. Tie a red ribbon on top of the holder around the jar neck. Print the saying,  “Here's a little something sweet to make your breakfast toast a treat. Happy Valentine's Day!” on an address label and stick it to the outside of the jar. This makes a great gift for mom from the little one. I did it with a class of 5 year olds.  Thanks for sharing your idea.
