6.  Gift each child with a small toy dinosaur – letting them know you think they’re “dino-mite”!

7.  Looking for another great boy-friendly idea? This is perfect! These are fun and  easy to make, plus I love when the Valentine cards have a special message that goes along with the favor.   🙂

9. These mustache valentines are just about the most fun idea… EVER!  Can you imagine how much fun kids will have if these are part of a classroom Valentine party? 🙂  Throw in some temporary tattoos (Valentine’s Day themed) and you’re set! 🙂

10. Kids would love melting crayons to create these unique Valentine’s Day hearts!  Our kids love doing these.  They are so cute.  You can even give these with a coloring sheet (Valentine’s Day theme) that you print off for the kids.

11. If you want Valentine card ideas for school – this next one is perfect.   Kids who love goldfish crackers will enjoy the fact “in the same school” as the child who shares these valentines with them!  You can make these with white printer paper and some markers!

12. Ever thought of making homemade Valentine fortune cookies?  They are actually really easy to make & they are fun treat to include with a special Valentine’s Day card or note!
Just write something cute on the paper like, “You will have a great day today!”  or “You will do great on your spelling test!”  or keep it basic with “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

13. Check out these lightsaber cards  by ElishoSnow (you can make them right on your computer!) with glow-sticks and a picture printed on cardstock.

14. I am in love with this ingenious idea: “I dig you!”   Kids will love the fact that they can use this Valentine even after the candy is gone. 😉

15. I love the idea of these love bugs for kids! On a day when they will receive loads and loads of sweets, why not treat them with something a little different?

16. Use Burt’s Bee’s popular products to thank your child’s teacher for “bee-ing” great.
Note: I’m not sure of the source for this image, so I can’t lead you to their website, but 

17. Does your child’s teacher love coffee? If so, this is the perfect valentine for them! (Psst…don’t you just love when the free printable is included?)

18. For a little bit of a different twist: This Valentine’s Day, they may also enjoy being told: “Thanks a Latte” for all that they do!

19. How cute is this budget-friendly idea?  It’s going to be a great Valentine for the teacher, but it also works great as classroom valentines for all of the kids.   A ruler and some paper and make adorable classroom valentines.

20.  These Rainbow Loom Bracelet cards are a wonderful gift from your child to your teacher and I think any teacher would appreciate it!  (I would have!). Our kids have each loved to make Rainbow Loom bracelets at one point or another, so this one would be perfect for them.
