Looking for DIY ideas for Valentine’s Day cards for kids?

I’ve put together a list of some of the most cutest DIY Valentine’s Day cards across the internet just for you.

I can’t believe we have to start thinking about Valentine’s Day already. I’m pretty sure I missed a few days after the new year. Like, seriously, days 4-8 were a complete blur.

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, I don’t go overboard. We do cards for classmates but that’s about it.

Mostly, my budget isn’t cut out for it. In addition, I don’t want my kids growing up thinking they have to buy things for every holiday.

If you are looking for ways to save money, then DIY might be something you can look into this year.

Last year, I created Heart Shaped Valentines Day Books for our family members. I had my son write down 14 reasons why he loves a particular person.

The loved it!

I’m not sure if I’ll continue now that I have 3 kids and pressed on time but it was a joy learning his bond with each of his grandparents, Tia, Tio, and cousins.

Here are a few reasons to DIY Valentine’s Day Cards for your kids this year:

• It saves money- but be careful, while printables are free on most crafting sites; the candy, treat, toy or gift that pairs with the card can come out to more money than traditional Valentine’s Day cards at the stores.
• It brings out your child’s imagination
• It brings out your crafty side
• You can work on your child’s craft and fine motor skills
• They are unique!

I decided to hop on the internet to find some of the best and frugal DIY Valentine’s Day cards for kids to make for their classmates. The best part? They come with FREE printables!

I hope these give you some inspiration this Valentine’s Day.
