These cute Color Me Happy valentines are so easy to make and so fun! Find the free printable on theprettybee.com #printable

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away! Are you making Valentine treats? Are you helping your kids with their valentines to pass out to friends?

Since Valentine’s Day can sometimes be very food-centered, it can be stressful if you’re managing multiple food allergies. There’s all the store-bought heart candies that are often unsafe for those with food allergies.

Whether you’re avoiding nuts, dairy, eggs, peanuts, soy…it can be so hard to find a safe store-bought candy. And now some Valentine’s cards even include candy! Which may seem like a nice idea, but it does complicate things when you’re trying to make sure your child is safe. Valentines don’t have to be edible to be fun, which is why this cute crayon Valentine is a nice idea for little kids.

Printable Color Me Happy Valentine cards on theprettybee.com. Make these cute printables for your kids to pass out! So easy! Just tape a few crayons on to each one with colorful washi tape. #valentinesday

These Color Me Happy printable valentines are super cute and very easy to make. They’re a fun, candy-free valentine for your child to pass out to his/her friends.

You will need:

  • cardstock
  • my free printable
  • crayons (2 or 3 for each valentine)
  • double-sided tape
  • washi tape (Target and Michael’s both have some cute washi tape. Or you can always browse Etsy – there are tons of colors and patterns available!)

Instructions:

  1. Just print out the valentines on white cardstock, and cut them out. Let your child write his name on the back of each one.
  2. Place a piece of double-sided tape on the cardstock, and lay the crayons on top.
  3. Place a piece of washi tape on top of the crayons to hold them in place.
  4. That’s it! You’re done!

These cute Color Me Happy valentines are so easy to make and so fun! Find the free printable on theprettybee.com #printable

A lot of schools don’t allow food treats anymore due to food allergies, so these are a nice alternative – still fun, and no risk of anyone getting cross contaminated. An easy way to include everyone and keep everyone safe!

What are you working on this week? Are you making valentines with your kids?

    I’m making these with (for) my 2.5 year old’s first ever school Valentine’s Party this weekend. (Two years after your original post…). I’m going to include a little coloring page on the back side of them for them to use their new crayons on. I love these, because they are friendly messages. My 2 year old doesn’t need to be telling her new friends (just started preschool on the 1st) that she loves them or her heart is bursting or other typical messages for the holiday. Not to mention being an alternative to sugar & candy treats. These are perfect for preschoolers who are the new kid in class.

      I agree, Jessica. I like that Kelly’s printable is cute but not too “lovey dovey.” (Thanks, Kelly!) I will be making this gift for my daughter’s preschool class. She will help count the crayons and tape them to the card. (Another reason that I like this Valentine’s Day idea–my daughter can help!) I also like the idea of adding a coloring page. I’ll probably put everything in a plastic baggie for easy distribution at school.

    This is such a cute idea! And easy to make too. Don’t you just love washi tape?
