Finding fun and unique Valentine’s Day non candy gifts for friends and classmates is so much fun and allowing your older children to have input in what they are gifting on Valentine’s Day is key!  Non-candy Valentine’s are a great way to avoid allergy issues and gift items that can be played with in the future versus eaten or thrown away as an added bonus! Classroom parties are such an exciting time for school aged children, and I love all of these non-candy Valentine’s Day ideas!

I am ALWAYS on the hunt for activities and worksheets that will keep my children engaged and entertained with different levels of difficulty for 3 age ranges too.  Going to restaurants isn’t always an easy feat with little kids, especially when they outnumber parents like in our family! I love taking activity sheets and coloring sheets with us in the car, to restaurants and using at their schools and home.  Having themed activities for holidays is icing on the cake!   I love these Valentine’s Day activity sheets that double as Valentine’s Day Placemats - it’s a two for one Valentine’s Day FREE printable!
