While kids love to get Valentine cards that have a candy treat attached to them, non-candy Valentine’s Day cards are fun to get too. This set of printable Valentine cards comes with card with a friendly not mushy message. There is also a small set of tangram shapes that can be attached to the printable Valentine cards.
There are probably many ways that you can share these printable Valentine cards. I chose to punch a whole in the corner of the card and the tangrams. Then tie them together with a piece of yarn. Knowing that I was going to do that I left a border on one of the edges of the tangrams. The tangram sets will tuck behind the printable Valentine cards when JDaniel passes them out at school. I have twisted the tangram set up so you can see what it looks like attached to the card.
Another way you could share the tangram set and the card would be to put them in a Wilton Clear Tall Treat Bags. Both the printable Valentine cards and the tangram set could be cut to their borders or edges. Then they would be placed in the bag.
Hint:
I printed out the tangram set onto red copy paper. The Valentine cards were printed out onto white card stock. I thought they looked more festive that way. You could print them both out on white card stock if you like.
Why didn’t I put a place to the child receiving each cards name?
I have found that it is easier to pass out printable Valentine cards or the store bought cards when they don’t have who they are going to on them. The child bringing in the cards to school just has to place one card in each student’s card container. It can take awhile for children to go back and forth around the room passing out cards with specific names on them. Kids seem to be more excited about getting a card from everyone in their class rather than having every card have their name on it anyway.

Candy with cards is vastly over-rated! You always have such good, creative ideas Deidre!
Old friend I am so glad you like it!
I am thrilled you stopped by! You made my day!
This is a brilliant idea! I love how you used the tangrams to create a non-candy Valentine that looks really fun to do. Thanks so much.
These are super adorable Deirdre! Thanks so much for sharing. I’ll be printing them out for my son to hand out in his KG class this year. Fantastic idea!
I am thrilled that you like them. Thank you so much for letting me know!
Hi. Love these! Quick question, I just printed these out and the pieces are much larger than would fit on top of the heart on the card. Is this correct? Are kids supposed to construct to the side w the card as a guide? We are used to putting the pieces directly on top of the pattern in the planograms that we’re accostumed to (perhaps bc son is 3?). Thanks. Happy Valentine’s Day!
We used them beside the card and not on it. You could print out two of the mats. Then cut the pieces out of one of the mats and use them on the other.
