Valentine's Day
These Adorable Valentine's Day Cards Will Make Your Kid's Heart Skip A Beat
Maybe Cupid will send you a few, too.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean roses and scrambling to get a dinner reservation; instead, it can be a quiet day to show your loved ones how much they mean to you. Whether or not you believe the holiday warrants gifts, a small token is always appreciated... which is why these 12 Valentine’s Day cards for kids are so great.
If your kids are in virtual school, they may be missing the fun of giving and receiving a Valentine from everyone in their class. And because this year Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) falls on a Sunday, it could be fun to play Cupid with your kid by dropping off cards in their pals' mailboxes. Or if you’re looking to spread a little joy the old-fashioned way, there’s still plenty of time to send snail mail (or a digital greeting card if that’s more your speed).
From a Baby Yoda pop-up card to a craft kit where creative kids can make their own, your kid will be happy to give or receive these 12 Valentine’s Day cards that are way more fun than chalky candy hearts.

5. Boxed Card Sets For The Classroom
Parents of kids in the '90s were onto something: sometimes the easiest thing to do (and the thing that assures that none of your kids' buddies wind up without a Valentine) is to buy a set of cards for the whole classroom. Usually in packs of 24 or 28 (though some of these are 12-packs), there should be plenty to go around and they come in cute designs (like Frozen or superhero themes) that are sure to be a hit.

It's beyond satisfying to squeeze one of these squishy toys, and since they come with included Valentine's Day cards, this pack of 36 is sure to be a hit (and it's a serious deal, too). Just remember to snag one for yourself so you have something to squish in stressful moments.
9. An Etch-A-Sketch Valentine

More than just a card, this waste-free kit from Love Beauty and Planet x East Olivia features a plantable card that grows into wildflowers. Planting something even more beautiful: The brand is donating $38K+ (equivalent to the cost of all kits produced) to Urban Growers Collective, a Black- and women-led non-profit farm in Chicago working to create a fair and equitable local food system.
