I don’t know about you, but in my kid’s school classrooms, candy valentines are a thing of the past! To be honest, I’m not mad about it. With that said, while most years I am TOTALLY that mom who goes to the store to buy a box of Valentine’s Day cards for my kids to give out to their friends, this year, I’m patting myself on the back for being relatively pro-active about their Valentine’s and MUCH more creative! We are actually going to do something cute!
What? Well you’ll have to follow me on insta to find out but I scoured the internet, *cough* I mean Pinterest {ps do you follow me on Pinterest?!?! …because if not, you should!!}, and found 15 seriously ADORABLE do-it-yourself valentines options NOT INVOLVING CANDY for your kids to give to their classmates/besties/cousins/etc. These won’t break the bank and are actually EASY to create! Each of these simple ideas also come with the cuuuuutest *free* printables! Check them out below!

PS this one isn’t candy but it is food but I think it’s okay because they can’t open or eat the bag at school! You need a microwave at home for that!

Word Find Valentine’s
Play-Doh Valentine’s
Glow Stick Valentine’s
I’m Stuck On You Valentine’s
Fruit Valentine’s
