Easy DIY Valentines for School

I love participating in all the fun DIY Valentine classroom activities each year. I recall that Valentine’s Day was one of my favorite holidays in grade school. That week, we would make “mailboxes” (like this cute Panda one)out of old shoe boxes to prepare for all the Valentine’s Day goodies coming our way. Even though I knew that every kid gave Valentines to everyone in the class.  I still got excited to receive one from the boy I thought was cute that week.

All of these are super cute, creative, and inexpensive.  You can get some inspiration from the plastic toy bins or the candy aisle at your local party store.  Add a catchy phrase and voila! Instant valentine!

This printable Pop Quiz Ring Pop Valentine is always a hit and is from my Etsy shop. Buy ring pops in bulk, cut out the printable, fold and staple.

At school, everyone needs pencils! Here’s a fun and useful free printable Pencil Valentine that’s easy to cut out. I have another version here at my Etsy shop that you can purchase.

Here is another free non candy Valentine that you can use for toy yo-yos.

I made this bouncy ball printable for one of Mia’s first Valentine parties ever! It says “I hope you have a ball!”

Another oldie but goodie, I made this fortune cookie Valentine a while ago. Although these erasers may not be available anymore, you can add this free printable on similar toys or on actual fortune cookies!

Want to make your own Valentine? Here is a master list of Non Candy and Candy sayings you can use.
