I’m one of those moms who dislikes the proliferation of candy for kids everywhere, so I’ve been collecting ideas for non-candy Valentine treats that your children can share at school, and with their friends and family. Many of these are quite clever ideas, and come with free printables. Of course another side to this is that kids will be coming home with numerous little bits and pieces! Oh well, you gotta share the love right?
I love anything that encourages art, and the watercolor Valentines from Warm Hot Chocolate (above) are perfect!
