Looking for a creative Valentine for your kids to pass out to the class? Tired of all the candy that comes home on February 14th?  We’ve compiled a list of 5 creative candy-free classroom Valentines. Check it out!

Takis, the fiery, chili-powdered crunchy tortilla rolled chips, are incredibly popular with kids.  Use the phrase “You Taki My Breath Away” and create a homemade purple card with red and orange flames on it.  Attach the bag of Takis to the Valentine and voila, fire breath for everyone!

You Quack Me up Valentine

Who doesn’t love a rubber ducky?  Attach a rubber ducky to a Valentine that says, “You QUACK me up, Valentine.”  A cute play-on words for making someone laugh.  We found this adorable FREE printable from Parties by Poppins. 

Color your Heart Out Valentine

Want to involve your kids in the creative process?  Melt those old crayons down in a heart-shaped silicone mold at 250 degrees for 10-13 minutes.  Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.  Attach the crayon heart to this adorable printable: “Color Your Heart Out” which can be downloaded here.  Want a tutorial for creating the crayon heart?  Check out this entertaining video from Stinky Pig Studios.

We don’t think slime will ever go out of style! Create your own slime or buy some in bulk.  Create a homemade tag that says, “I’m STUCK on you Valentine!”  Watch this be everyone’s favorite Valentine!
