Healthy Snacks
A great alternative to candy or chocolate could be a healthy *but fun* pre-packaged snack or food treat. Oranges, cheese strings, or apples are an easy little treat that most kids enjoy. A ready-to-go pantry snack – like goldfish, popcorn, or granola bites – are sure to be a hit!

There are endless DIY Valentine gifts that can be created for next to no cost! Browse Pinterest, peruse you local dollar store, and create something unique – and from the heart!

In celebration of this upcoming day of adoration and friendship, I’ve created a set of fun Valentines that are available for download!
- The download file is a PDF which prints nicely on letter sized paper (8 1/2″ x 11″).
- When printing, it is sometimes best to select “print actual size”, in order to ensure the image doesn’t get cut off.
- This two page file prints in full colour.
- Each of the two pages contains four separate designs.
- All designs are for PERSONAL USE ONLY and may NOT be reproduced, edited, sold or distributed for commercial and/or business purposes or gain.
- Final colors might differ slightly due to differences in monitors, printers and paper used.
- I recommend printing this download on cardstock paper.
