Here are some easy classroom valentines for you to print and use with your class (or friends- different texts is included for each valentine). Each valentines template is customizable, so you don’t have to sign your name 100 times.

DIY Crocs Valentines
The crocs still seem to be all the rage! This is an easy way to send a smile to your students or a kiddo who is into the collection of the jibbitz.
Just print select the croc valentine page that works best for you or customize the audience completely. (We customized them in our house to say “Being your cousin really crocs”.) Then type in your signature and print!
Cut out each valentine. Use a hole punch and small additional slit with scissors to create a place to put the jibbitz.
I got these jibbitz from Amazon. A pack of 30 was $1.99 on sale, but they are still only $5 regular price. Definitely within our price range!
Easy Gum Ball Valentines
I’m not a huge fan of candy in the classroom for Valentine’s Day (IYKYK), but I will concede to gum.
-
- It doesn’t contain a ton of sugar (in comparison to the Fun Dip little Susie is handing out)
- They can’t eat it in school (thank you, gum policy)
- And there is some research that is good for teeth and jaw muscle development (or so they say
)
)
Your going to need small clear condiment containers to place the gum balls in before using hot glue to secure it to the gumball machine.
I ended up splurging and grabbing these gumballs because they are made in the USA and a lot less gunk in them. For me, it’s worth the extra money.
You can grab the gumball machine printable here and then customize it with your name before printing!
Swifty Bracelet Valentines
https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Free-Teacher-Valentines-12907583I am not actually a huge Taylor Swift fan these days (I like the OG Taylor 😅), but I can always hop on board for a friendship bracelet trend.
I got this bead set and these little sealable bags (so important so that beads don’t go everywhere in transport) to use to build the class Valentines bracelet kits.
I printed out the bag topper, and then I assembled each class valentines kit based on the colors I know each student liked.
I did place some letter beads in some of the kits for a personalized valentines touch. Just make sure you mark with pencil what the word spells on the back of the top tag. (I may have learned the hard way as the class spent some time playing unscramble the words in the bags)
Pull and Release Car Valentines
I had way too much fun with these pull and release cars before making these Valentines. 😂
This class valentine was by far the easiest assembly. I printed the template from here, making sure to edit them so my name was already on each one.
Then I rolled a piece of tape and stuck on the car. That’s it! Super simple and easy.
Paper Bag Poptart Pouch Valentines
These ones were the most labor intensive, but if your like me, you need some creative outlets. This class valentine fit the bill perfectly- a little crafty and a little homemade!
I used Trader Joe’s grocery bags to trace the template that you can grab here. You need to cut out two- one for the top and one for the bottom.
Then I used what I had from my paint stash to paint on some frosting to the top of one side. Then I added some paint sprinkles.
I used hot glue to glue 3 of the sides (top piece with frosting to the plain bottom piece). Then put the collection of goodies inside before sealing the third side.
The kids love to open them- it feels like a little gift! And leave it to my 5th grade girls to open them so carefully so they can use the empty Poptart to store other things. 😂
