My girls have always loved Valentine’s day class parties when they get to give (and receive) a whole bunch of kids’ creative Valentine cards with little gifts on Valentine’s day.
Valentine’s school day activities usually involve lots of fun crafts like homemade Valentines full of sweet messages, paper hearts, and sometimes teachers will have the kids decorate a Valentine box with their name on it in creative ways.
But the candy treats and toys that they exchange with cute love cards are the anticipated stars of the show.
And I’ve got lots of fun printable Valentines and unique ways to put a personal touch to your kids’ special delivery.

This post includes all the kids’ Valentine card ideas that use printables that I’ve created over the years.
They all make perfect last-minute DIY Valentine’s day cards because you print them on white cardstock or a piece of paper and cut them at home.
Some of my fun designs are free in the downloads library and some are available in the shop. In any case, they’re all available as an instant download on this site.

Whether you are looking for a Valentine for a girl, a boy, a non-candy Valentine, or something clever, I think you’ll love how creative all of these kids’ Valentine cards are.
