35+ Valentine cards kids can make

I like to gather handmade Valentine ideas every year to use for my boys. While I’m a big fan of non-candy Valentine treats, I also like cards that are easy enough for kids to create. So today I’m sharing a collection of Valentine cards kids can make.

There are so many really cute ideas for kids of all ages. From heart and flower cards to handprint and footprint cards. There is something for everyone. A toddler will like to create fingerprint hearts, a preschooler will enjoy a suncatcher card, a kindergartner can try his/her first origami project and older kids will have plenty of other choices.

My youngest is into Star Wars these days so I know that for him I’ll have to check out this collection of Star Wars Valentines (30 free printables).
