Tired of the same commercially printed Valentine’s cards and chalky hearts for your kids?
Why not try something handmade and more meaningful this Valentine’s Day.
These DIY Valentine’s Day gift ideas are here to make for your own kids to say “I love you,” or you can make them with your kiddos for them to give to their friends.
Making gifts by hand teaches them creative expression, fine motor skills, and how to communicate words of affection and affirmation to others.
I mean, how great is that?

Tag it: Messaging Matters
When it comes to Valentines, it’s not really about the gift. The candy, treat, or widget is really just a delivery device to your main meaningful message – “I appreciate you and that you’re in my life.” So make sure to say it.
Expressing words of affirmation is a love language that many people grow up struggling with. Valentine’s Day is an ideal occasion to practice this language for you and your kids. And it’s low-pressure, since everyone else is doing it too.
Other Ways to Say You Care
Do those three little words of ultimate affection feel inappropriate for your giftee? I remember feeling uncomfortable in elementary school telling some classmates I barely knew “I love you.” Here are some alternative nice things to say instead.
- Thanks for being a friend (kids probably wouldn’t understand the reference but… makes me smile)
- You d-💡-me
- Yoda best (pairs well with Yoda himself)
- You make the world a better place
- So sweet
- You are unique
- One of a kind
- I admire you
- You are brave
- You’re a dino-mite friend (pairs well with dinosaur theme)
- You rock
- Don’t worry be happy
- You’re a smart cookie
