Valentine's Day itself has always been one of those holiday's I don't fully understand, but the memories of my childhood and Valentine's Day are still ingrained into my memories. From Valentine's Day cards to the cute stuffed animals to the candy.
Thanks to the internet, being gluten-free, vegetarian, and having strange food allergies, I've learned that I'm not the only one, and because I'm not the only one, there are so many options for Valentine's Day related treats for kids on Valentine's Day, that we can still have memories. They may not be the same that I remember.
Out with the old and in with the new. Here are some of the coolest nonfood related Valentine's Day ideas from good old Pinterest! They're fun, kid safe, and they're great to pass out at school Valentine's Day parties! I love Pinterest, don't you?
9. Crayons and Coloring Pages from Crazy Little Projects
You don't need to be the king or queen of creativity when it comes to non-food related treats. Creativity can run both ways on Valentines Day, especially when your Valentine's Day treats are crayons and coloring pages!
8. Handmade Bookmarks from Parents Magazine
I don't know how often I've lost my bookmark. Bookmarks aren't only cute, but they're a really practical gift for Valentine's Day. Oh did I mention they're pretty easy to make?
7. Slime Valentines from Lola Lambchops
Slime! Kids love making slime, they love playing with slime, but do they love sharing slime with their friends? Of course! Lola Lambchops's Valen-Slime cards are totally adorable! Happy Valen-Slimes Day!
6. Crazy Straws from What a Teacher Wants
If you want a simple yet crazy idea for Valentine's Day, give out crazy staws! It's food related and gluten-free!
5. Valentine's Day Pencil Toppers from 30 Handmade Days
They're so cute, they're non-food, and they're something every kid can use. Well maybe not the pencil toppers as much as the pencils themselves, but the toppers are a pretty cool finishing touch!
4. Hoppy Valentine's Day Frogs from Lil Luna
As a frog obsessed blogger, the second I saw the hoppiest and the easiest Valentine's Day card ever on Lil Luna's Page, I knew I had to share it. These hoppy frogs are full of nostalgia, I used to love getting hoppy frogs as a kid!
3. Valentine's Day is for the Birds by Thrifty Jinxy
Valentine's Day is all about sharing with the ones you love, even if the ones you love are your feathered friends. Having your kids make Bird Seed Valentine's for their friends is technically food related, but food for birds outside. Sharing the happy memories, watching the birds outside is loads of fun too!
2. Bouncy Balls from Glue Sticks and Gumdrops
This example shows only sports bouncy balls, but you can go any route you want with bouncy balls.
1. Seed Packets from Arts & Crackers
Okay, maybe this one is a bit food related, but only if you want them to be. Growing plants from seeds is a learning experience within Valentine's Day treat! Flowers or vegetables, both are a cool Valentine's Day treat!
