Easy DIY Valentine Ideas for Kids!

PEKIN, Illi. - Say goodbye to traditional paper valentines and try something new this Valentine's Day! We are helping you and your kiddos kick things up a notch this year by offering you some fun and creative ways to spice up valentines at an affordable price. With these Easy DIY Valentine Ideas for Kids, you and your little one can spend some quality time together creating personalized treats for their friends and classmates! 

1. "I Dig You!"
Fill a clear plastic bag with your child's favorite Valentine's Day candy, then insert a small plastic shovel. Seal it with an "I Dig You" tag and your child's name! 

2. "Just Popping in to say, Happy Valentine's Day"

Valentines do not always have to include candy! Bubbles are not only inexpensive for you, but they're also a blast for the kids!

4. Valentine S'mores in a Jar
If you choose to do this project for a large group, we suggest using a festive bag as opposed to a mason jar for each valentine. You can easily find all of the contents for a "Valentine S'mores in a Jar" - Valentine's Day marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers - at your local grocery store!

5. "Valentine, You RULE!"

Rulers are a great valentine alternative. This is a gift that your child's classmates can store in their desks and use for the rest of the school year!

This is a healthier Valentine's Day treat. Attach a festive Valentine's Day straw to a juice box or bottle of water with a packet of flavoring!
