12 Candy-Free Valentines

Every time Valentine’s Day rolls around, I feel like my kids have overdosed on sugar. The idea of non-candy Valentine’s sounds so appealing.

Our Halloween candy tends to last well into December, which leads to Christmas cookies, and candy in their stocking. By mid-January, I am so over candy and so over my girls’ assumption that we’ll always have candy in the house.

That’s what led me to search for some awesome Valentine ideas that contained absolutely no candy.

These are all perfect ideas for classroom Valentines or just a special little treat for your own kids.
