6 Sugar-Free Valentine’s Day Crafts For Kids

DIY Colorful Valentine's Day Printable

Have you thought about Valentine’s Day cards for the kids yet? I love that my daughter’s school has a rule about their Valentine’s celebration: no candy. Plus, they actually suggest that the kids do something handmade to give to all of their school friends. But it can be a tall order for you to find the time and to keep kids’ attention.

These projects all have a DIY element and feel very Valentine-festive. But the gifts are sugar-free, the crafts are relatively quick, and the results are simply stunning. You still have time to make these with your little whipper-snappers, just in time to spread some love.
