My kids are in school, so they will need to provide Valentine’s for all their classmates. It is nice to take a break from the millions of pieces of candy they will receive and provide an option that doesn’t pump your children full of sugar. You are welcome, parents. So, this year I went with another things kids love: ART! My kids love to color, so I made a Printable Valentine that not only gives the gift of some colored pencils or crayons, but you can color the ACTUAL VALENTINE! Fun, right?? Add in the Valentine Pun “You color My World” and you have a fun and unique valentine for your kids classroom exchange.
