Ah, to be young again. Recess, book fairs, and parties for every holiday. While your kids may have a favorite holiday, like Pi Day, everyone loves getting valentines. Not sure what to do for kids’ Valentine’s Day? Here are a few fun and easy ideas for Valentine’s Day cards for your kids to bring to school!

Wordplay and puns are a clever way to put a Valentine’s Day spin on your average treats. Some pun-friendly candies you can try out include Smarties, Pop Rocks, SweeTarts, and even Gummy Bears. Catch-phrases like “you’re such a sweetheart,” or “you rock my socks!” pair nicely with the candies mentioned above. Skip to My Lou also has a helpful list of other pun-treat combinations full of cute sayings!

If you’d rather mix up your sweets, or give cooking a go, try putting together a little snack pack with various treats and a cute poem to go along! The Printable Holiday has some great Valentine’s Day sayings ranging from cheesy song lyrics to kid-friendly compliments. Lost on homemade ideas? Valentine’s Day colors, like red, white, and pink, can make homemade snacks look festive – without all the messy sprinkles.
