Kids Valentines Day Cards
Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and that means it’s time to get crafty, silly, and super creative with cards the kids can make themselves! Whether your little artist loves coloring, sticking, painting, or gluing, I’ve rounded up a bunch of ideas that make this day extra sweet. Let’s make something unforgettable (and way cuter than store-bought cards)!
Printable Valentine Coloring Cards, Make It Personal!
One of the sweetest ideas for DIY Valentine’s cards this year is using coloring printables your kids can decorate themselves. These ones from Etsy are such a hit because they come ready to print and so fun to color in, perfect for little hands and big imaginations!
Kids can add their own colors, doodles, and special messages on the back of each card. Coloring cards are perfect for classroom exchanges, playdates, or even little love notes for grandparents. You can pair them with crayons or markers, add a pop of glitter, or tape on tiny goodies for extra smiles.

One of my favorite go-to ideas is printable coloring cards that kids get to decorate themselves. These are perfect for class parties, family, friends, basically everyone your kiddo wants to share love with! You can add stickers, glitter, crayons, whatever little hands want to use. These ones have a space for your child to write ‘to’ and ‘from’ on the front of the cards.
These cute designs are sized just right for kids to color and then hand out. They’re perfect if you want something quick, creative, and totally adorable.

Just POPPIN’ By! Classroom Valentine Treat Toppers
Okay, so technically these aren’t Valentine cards… but they’re just too fun not to include! These Valentine’s Poppin Treat Bag Toppers are perfect for classroom Valentine’s gifts that feel extra cool. Kids can fill little bags with treats like candy, stickers, or even mini toys like pop-its, and then top them off with these cute printable toppers that say “Just POPPIN’ by to say Happy Valentine’s Day!” , so clever and fun.
These printable toppers come in three different sizes so you can fit everything from snack bags to cello bags, and they’re super easy to put together: just print, cut, fold, and staple to the top of your treat bags. And there is space on the back to write ‘to’ and ‘from’.
Kids still love the poppers and the playful “poppin’” theme, and it turns a simple treat into something fun they can hand out at school. It’s a great mix of crafty and cute without needing to make a full card, perfect for busy moms and excited kiddos!
