SWEET LOVE~no sugar added~

Happy “Tooth-Day”!!

Farah Flossit here, hoping you show your teeth & smile some LOVE this Valentine’s Day!

I’m sooo excited today to share with all of you some great ideas for NON-CANDY Valentine’s Day treats. The best way to express your love this Valentine’s Day is to love your teeth & share your healthy smile. Send your friends & loved ones sweet messages without the sugary Mouth Monsters! Start your day with this kind of love,…

Your little love bugs will dig matching up their favorite party favors with our printable templates! In just an hour or two, they’ll have sweet, customized cards for every kid in the class! Find templates for all of these valentines at familyfunmag.com/printables. We found all the party favors featured here at U.S. Toy and Party City.

Yo-Yo

Print the template onto 81⁄2-by-11-inch sticker paper (at office-supply stores), and have your child trim it out using pinking shears. Stick it onto the yo-yo, and you’re good to go!

Zoo Animals

Print greeting onto card stock; cut out. Trim a piece of sushi grass (we found ours on Amazon) to the width of the card. Insert the greeting, grass, and zoo animal into a cellophane bag; tape it closed.

Playing Cards

Print the template onto 81⁄2-by-11-inch sticker paper; cut out. Wrap a box of cards once with washi tape, then stick the greeting onto the box.

Paint Palettes

Help your child splatter card stock with watercolors; let dry. (Practice on a test template first.) Print greetings onto the painted card stock and cut out. Punch holes in each, then attach the tags to the paint sets with string.

Jacks Set

Insert scrap cardboard into a small muslin bag (we found ours at Paper Mart). Help your child stamp a heart onto the bag; let dry. Print the greeting; cut out and insert into the bag, along with a jacks set.

Crayons & Notepads

Place crayons on top of a notepad and wrap with a rubber band. Print the template onto plain paper; cut out. Wrap it around the bundle and tape in place in the back.

Parachuter

Print greeting onto cloud-patterned paper (we found ours at officesupply.com); cut out. Adhere paper to card stock with a glue stick. Attach parachuter with a glue dot.

Silly Glasses

Print the greetings onto card stock; cut out. Use double-stick tape to attach the glasses onto the card stock, or punch holes for each of the temple pieces, thread them through, and fold closed.

I absolutely love all of the ideas above, but if you are still looking for some more crafty, fun & non-candy ideas you will find a wealth of ideas with free pintables by doing a search for “candy-free valentines for kids” on Pinterest.

I hope you all have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!!!:)
