The Great Sweet Swap!

By Kamlyn Jurgensen February 6, 2015
Valentine's Day is a special day for your sweetheart and it's usually filled with sweets. As more schools and parents are moving away from the sugar filled goodies for classroom giving, I thought it would be fun to come up with 20 non-edible Valentine's Day 'treats'.

Temporary Tattoos
Stickers
Pencils 
Erasers
Small boxes of crayons
Dice
Glow Sticks
Silly Bands
Washi Tape
Silly Putty
Small Notebooks
Fun Straws

Matchbox cars
Sidewalk Chalk
Loom Bracelets
Friendship Bracelets
Crazy Straw
Novelty Sunglasses
Pom Poms and Pipe Cleaners
Watercolor paints

Here are some of those ideas put into action and made into Valentines. The bonus is they come with free printables. This way you don't have to be too creative if you are short on time.
