I love Valentine's Day because it is a sign that Spring is coming. Pinterest has been helping me find tons of great ideas for my preschooler to give out as Valentine's and today, I'm sharing those ideas with you. (2019 update: My kids are past the preschool stage but many of these would be popular with the elementary crowd. Especially cars, glow sticks, and any food items!)
2. Another PBJ themed idea courtesy of Beth from Unskinny Boppy
3. I just love these festive straws for Valentine's Day handouts!
They are from Kinzie's Kreations and offered as a free printable!
4. Heart shaped mini chalkboards from Tonii at Blue Skies Ahead. I can't find pink ones but Amazon has a pack of 24 mini black heart chalkboards for $12.
5. The folks from Fiskars have this fun treat for Pop Rocks valentines:
6. Do you ever find Valentine's can be a little bit girly? Which is fine except it presents a challenge for us moms who have boys that don't want to give out anything remotely pink or feminine. When I saw this idea on pinterest it seemed like a great one to satisfy the boy crowd!
From Alexis, visit HERE to see it on her blog.
7. Play-doh is always a hit with the preschool crowd and Queen Mother Blog created this super cute "Doh you want to be my valentine" gift for kids:
8. There are lots of "I'm wild about you!" valentine ideas using small plastic toys. Here was one suggestion from Design Mom
The plastic animals run about $7 for a pack of 12 on Amazon. {See them here}
9. You could also do the Wild About You idea with animal crackers:
10. Dandee Designs has the most adorable bug themed valentine! Again you could get the bugs in bulk from Oriental Trading Company, or the Dollar Tree often has packs of 6-8 bugs in their toy section.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Love Bug!"
You can get a 16 pack of cars for $10 on Amazon (free shipping with Prime) or a set of 30 cars from Oriental Trading for $12.99 plus shipping.
