We are just under a month away from Valentine's Day and the kids and I have been hard at work creating some fun and unique Valentine's Day cards for their friends! Today I'm going to share our top 3 favorites with you all and show you just how easy these are to create with your little ones!
1. Love is a Battlefield
Materials Needed:
Cardstock
Stamps
Army Men
Glitter Washi Tape
2. I love You Beary Much
Materials Needed:
Cardstock
Stamps
Care Bears
Glitter Washi Tape
3. I'm Wild About You
Materials Needed:
Cardstock
Stamps
Wild Animal Figures
Glitter Washi Tape
Instructions:
Use the glitter washi tape to secure your toy figure onto the cardstock. We had some fun and did each card a little different to feel a bit more personalized. Once you figure out where you are going to place your toy figure go to town with your stamps! The stamps are totally optional, as you can easily print your message using a computer and printer, but I found that my 3 year old had a blast helping me stamp them down and I found that I loved the character the uneven letters provided.
These are all great non-candy and fairly inexpensive options to pass out to friends for Valentines Day. If you looking for something more appropriate for children age 3 and under, you can check out my latest post at www.NicoleBanuelos.com for a fun bath inspired DIY Valentine's Day Cards for ages 6 months and up!

Cute ideas. My 4 year old would love to make these for his class and I always like candy alternatives.

Love the “Love is a battlefield” ❤️ army men, we’re on a green army men kick around here from decorating baby boy’s bathroom with army men decals. Will have to remember this for when he’s a little older and giving out valentines! (Right now he’d just eat them and that’d be a choking hazard ?)

Love these non cookie cutter Valentine’s Day cards! My little man isn’t in school yet but we will be making some for our neighbor friends! I’m thinking a cute cut out with a colorabke picture and crayons attached. There’s something about Valentine’s Day that makes me so giddy! Especially having kids! :)

These are all awesome ideas! I love that they include a toy rather than chocolate. The little soldier card is definitely the best one <3.

I’ve been racking my brain (and Pinterest ?) for sweet Valentines, and I think these might be the winner! Love them!

Love that these include a little figurine that the kids can actually play with instead of sweets or a cheap card they’ll throw away! We always used to hand make our Valentine’s using doilies as kids, I think it’s good for kiddos to be able to participate in doing something nice for their classmates :)

The cards are adorable. A few years ago for V-Day I had his favorite food – pizza – made into the shape of a heart. Adorable and edible!
