Easy, non candy class valentines

Here’s two quick, easy and inexpensive ways to celebrate Valentines Day with your kids friends! Class valentines are always so fun for us over here but we stay away from all the candy because it turns Finn into a crazy person. This year was his kindergarten year so the first year I witnessed what eating candy all day can do to your 6yr old!

I put together one set of valentine grams for the 15 boys and one set for the 10 girls in his class although I feel like both of these could be great for both genders!

Sports squishy ball class valentines

what you’ll need:

multi pack squish balls

printable tags (image at bottom of post)

laminator

scissors

hole punch

ribbon

cellophane bags

basket filler

When I started looking for inspiration I couldn’t find any tags I liked so I made my own! I use the app studio by go daddy. It’s super user friendly and they have free pictures and fonts you can use so the creative ideas are endless!!

Once I designed each version, I just went to Avery.com where you can plug the images into the free templates and you can save it as a .pdf to print at home. Now, printing at home is easy and quick but our printer is currently buried in the garage of moving boxes somewhere. So I tried staples printing and I’ll never go back! It was ready in less than 2hrs, and I printed on 100ply card stock for $.60! Under $5 to print everything I needed with high quality color. I’m in.

What to say:

Baseball: You are a hit with me Valentine!

Soccer: I get a kick out of you Valentine!

Basketball: Being friends with you is a slam dunk!

Football: You are a touchdown in my book!

To assemble:

putting the together was super easy and fast!

  1. I cut out the printable tags using my guillotine paper trimmer.

  2. Added a hole in the corner.

  3. Tossed them in the cellophane bags with some fluff (basket filler) and

  4. Tied the bags with fluffy ribbon I always have on hand — Because ribbon and fluff make everything better!
