I made these valentine printables a few years ago for one of my Etsy shops.
Now that I am no longer selling them on that shop, I thought I would send them on to you!
These are SO easy to make with stuff you probably already have at home (you might need to pick up a new box of crayons), and they are perfect for boys and girls.
Here are some other things I love about them:
- They are CANDY-FREE!
- They are super cheap
- They are reusable! Download once and use for all your kids!!
- You can make them at home on your own printer
- Good for a wide variety of ages, I recommend 18 months – 10 years

HOW TO MAKE THE VALENTINES:
Here is how I like to make them, but you can customize them however you like!
I print the coloring pages, cut them out, and glue them on a cute cardstock backing.
Then, I punch holes on the top and tie on a little string.
Finally, I tape a crayon on top using super cute washi tape.
Done!
Detailed Instructions:
Step 1:
To download the FREE printable, you will need to fill in your email in the box below (so that I know where to send the files!)
By entering your email, you also agree to sign up for my awesome newsletter full of crafts and other homemaking ideas. (I only send emails every now and then, I promise not to spam or flood your inbox!)
Step 2:
Print the coloring pages, they already come formatted to print 2 to a page. Make sure the settings are set to print at “100%”.
Step 3:
Cut out the coloring pages using either scissors or a paper cutter. I prefer to use a paper cutter to get very straight lines, but scissors obviously work fine too!
Step 4:
Cut out a piece of colorful cardstock slightly larger than the coloring page, and glue the coloring page to it.
Step 5:
Use a hole punch (I use a heart shaped one) to punch two holes on top of the cardstock.
Step 6:
Tie a piece of string through the two holes, and tie a bow
Step 7:
Using Washi tape, tape a crayon to the front. (Alternatively, you can tie the crayon into the bow during step 6.)
And you’re done!
These valentines are going to be such a hit, and so unique! Let me know in the comments below how you used them!
