Looking for the perfect valentines for your kids to pass out at school? These printable fish valentines are super easy to make and tons of fun. Simply print + cut the template, apply the decorative pattern of your choice, write a message inside, and fill with candy.  Just be sure to make enough so there are plenty of fish in the sea!

We used our new line of peel & stick stencils to apply the fish scale patterns. They are remarkably easy to use, making it a snap to decorate a stack of valentines in no time flat. The stencils are available now at Michaels Stores—grab a pack and whip up a school for yourself!
