There are lots of fun cards to choose from, with different fonts, colours and shapes—all you need to do is pre-order! Get started here>


 

With stores like Michael's, or online sites like Etsy, it's easy to get anything personalized! Get a cute stamp made with your kid's name, like this one from Letter 2 Love, and stamp all her cards. Bonus: No writer's cramp for you! Get started here>

You can make a cute DIY Tic-Tac-Toe game that doubles as a Valentine's Day card for each kid in the class. Use yummy Strawberry Fields Tic Tacs as markers (and they're pink—perfect!). You can find Tic Tac Toe printables online and then you just need to have your kid package the game. Bonus: You can sub out the Tic Tacs for other candies that are V-Day themed—hello, cinnamon hearts. Get started here>

Scrambling to bake treats for your kid to bring to school? Make these easy sweetheart cookies (with only three ingredients) in an hour. Easy as 1-2-3! (Tip: Add a lollipop stick to each one as a personal treat for each classmate!) Get started here>


 

Don't want to send treats to school? Then these heart-shaped ballons are for you. You can find these balloons at party stores or the dollar store. On each balloon, attach a cute Valentine's quote or card (we have free printables here) for each person in the class. Get started here>
