Book lovers will adore Positively Splendid's Free Printable Valentine Bookmarks which can be topped with a pretty ribbon to finish them off--or left plain too. Comes in great colors and a not-too-lovey-dovey sentiment that boys and girls will both appreciate. How sweet that kids can use them all year round too.

We love so much from  The Black Apple, from their printable paper dolls to their notebooks, and when we first discovered these free Valentine's Day Heart Printables a while back, our girls all were taken with the multi-cultural illustrations and bold colors. Plus the imperfectly shaped hearts means amateur cutters can go at it all on their own.

If you have little ones still taken with pastels and happy animals, Ellinee's smiling animal valentines would be so sweet for the classroom. I really like the pastel color combination, stripey background, and the wee red hearts. So cute!


We loved this free Valentines printable card set from Eat Drink Love so much, we featured it in our DIY Valentine's Day gift guide this year. The sophisticated design is perfect for an older girl to hand out to her girlfriends, though that fella is awful dashing himself. There's a PDF for the envelope as well, but if that's a little too much work, stick with the gorgeous card.

Using just pink and gray, Miss Tiina has a dozen different designs to be handed out for Valentine's Day. I like how some of the sentiments are definitely less mushy for those classmates your child may not know well enough to tell "I love you."

Last year we shared 8 great printable valentines for kids and the one our kids keep coming back to are the punny, mid-century feeling printable animal valentines from letterpress card designers extraordinaire, Hello Lucky. This year, Liz's daughter wanted "only the bananas" because "it's so funny! Appeal...get it?"



The Zebra printable valentines were a quick favorite of Liz's five-year-old who who seemed to be very concerned that the boys and girls would like the same cards. If you're okay letting your kid sign her own name instead of having it personalized onto the template, the PDF is totally free. [via alpha mom]

Paper dolls meet valentines? That's like our kids' dream! This mid-century style by A-Meri-Card has four styles featuring boys and girls. Don't even bother with the cutting--just print on card stock and hand them out as is, so the kids can have fun putting them together themselves after school.

Feliz "Día Del Amor y la Amistad", or "Happy Valentine's Day", with Spanglish Baby's Spanish language cards in either sweet pink or "little monster" styles. Perfect for your little bilingual baby, or perhaps that child who still thinks Dora and Diego are tops.
