These printable Valentines are about as simple as it gets - and that’s exactly why I love them. They’re small, rectangular cards that measure about 2.5" x 1.8" and include a spot for kids to write their name. No complicated folding or assembly, just print, cut, and you’re ready to go. They’re perfect for little hands and a great way to get kids involved in a super easy Valentine DIY.
Simple Printable Valentines
Each Valentine is a simple rectangle with clean edges, which makes them ideal for kids who are practicing using scissors. There’s no tricky cutting involved, and the size is just right for little hands to manage on their own. They come in six different styles, so kids can mix and match or let friends pick their favorite.
How to Print Your Valentines
I've made a video on how to print your valentines at the correct size - once printed, there will be a guide at the top of the page to be sure you've printed correctly. This template will print 15 valentines per sheet.
Easy for Kids
This is one of those projects where kids can really do most of the work themselves. They can cut the Valentines, write their name, and help decide how to decorate or attach a treat. It’s low-pressure, quick to finish, and still feels special - which is a win when you’re making a whole class set.
Add a Sweet Treat
I attached Hershey’s foil-wrapped hearts to mine using glue dots, which makes it quick and mess-free. You could also tape on a lollipop - and using cute washi tape instantly makes it feel more fun. Another idea is to add a small party favor, like a bubble wand or a little fidget toy, for something non-candy.
Turn It Into a Bigger Gift
If you want to pair these Valentines with a larger treat, try using a hole punch and tying the card on with ribbon. It works great for things like treat bags, small toys, or even a box of candy. Simple, cute, and still easy enough to make a whole bunch without it turning into a big project.
