Valentine Ideas for Kids

01/02/2018 by The Typical Mom 6 Comments

Here are some cute candy free Valentine ideas for kids you can make and pass out at school! Using fruit squeezers and goldfish crackers along with these free Valentine’s Day printables, they’re adorable and inexpensive to make! Great for all ages from Kindergarten up.

valentine ideas for kids

Valentine Ideas for Kids are sometimes hard to come up with now that schools are asking for NO candy related items to be given out. Well, that may be fine for birthday celebrations, but for Halloween or Valentine’s it is a bit more difficult. You can find more holiday printables here as well. (originally published 1/13)

I thought outside of the box for a few candy free Valentine’s Day treats involving fruit and snacks that you can make at home that aren’t too expensive ( I will be adding more throughout this month too).

  • You can find Applesauce Squeezers (affiliate link) here. I just used card stock I had from scrapbooking and ribbon I had.
  • This is the perfect time to use up your leftover Christmas red ribbon. Cut the tag out + a smaller one I glued on top with a glue stick and used a sharpie to write the phrase.
  • I also created a free printable You’re My Main Squeeze Printable here so you can just cut them out and put them on your applesauce packs.

EASY! I keep an eye out for sales on the squeezers from the beginning of the year on and sometimes luck out like this sale + coupon I found above! It’s a great way to “treat” little ones without the sugar. 😉 

The next candy free Valentine treats for kids uses Quaker cereal that comes in the shape of hearts. This is a great finger food for Valentine’s Day! Just two ingredients and walahhhh!

Valentine Ideas for kids
  • Valentine ideas for school are here. I even include a free printable for the labels you see here if you don’t want to make your own. You just need some Goldfish crackers for this one. All kids love those! Here is another free printable using Goldfish crackers.
  • Here is a fun Valentine’s Day bubble printable you can use.
  • Here’s a cute idea using pencils for Valentine’s Day.
  • Use highlighter markers and attach this cute printable too.
Valentine idea for kids

A fun game you could use as a Valentine is this Valentine’s Day bingo card. You could attach a dobber which kids love with a ribbon on the corner and could even volunteer to come in. Play the game with them in class if they are having a party that day.

  • If you want to include a little mint I have these cute Valentine’s Day tic tac toe boards you can attach a pack of tic tacs to.
  • Sugar free gum can be attached to these Extra special Valentine’s Day printables to pass out.
  • The next Valentine ideas for kids I used a Z bar which is a Cliff bar for kids (almost identical to cliff bars just smaller in size) and used the same card stock with this cute phrase.

This is one that can be found in many flavors but may not be suitable if your child (or one in their class have peanut allergies). If not, these are great, organic and really tasty!

Valentine Ideas for kids

  1. Fun Valentine’s Day writing activity
  2. Make some Valentine’s Day slime
  3. Valentine’s Day garland is fun

    It’s difficult to find well-informed people in this particular topic,
    however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
    Thanks fotballdrakter

    I like the candy free ideas. My son has food allergies so when I was walking through the Dollar Tree the box of valentines that folded into paper airplanes was very cool.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew
    of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite
    some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with
    something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything.
    I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
