Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I feel like I finally brought my kids down from their sugar-high from Christmas. I am not looking forward to all the Valentine’s candy they will be getting so this year I am doing things a little different and I’m sending my kids with Valentines that don’t contain candy. I feel like kids would be just as delighted by getting a little toy or prize instead of another piece of candy anyway. This is a round up of some of my favorite ideas from around the internet and the best part is most of these have free printables!
