Printable Silly Straw Valentines

Classroom Valentines are a fun opportunity to get a little creative, but we are also very busy people, so it’s nice if the idea is simple too. I know my sister likes to have her kids give non-candy Valentines so I thought, “What do kids like that hasn’t been done over and over on Pinterest already?” Plus, I wanted a positive message that encourages kids to be unique, be awesome—be silly! I happened to have these silly straws that my cousin’s kids love using whenever they come over and so the idea seemed obvious. These Printable Silly Straw Valentines print four to a page and with just a couple hole punches, they’re easy to attach to any straw you find.

So they’re creative (check), simple to execute (check), non-candy (check), something kids love (check) and have a positive message (check)! Seems like a win to me.

I found my silly straws (also known as Krazy Straws or Crazy Straws) in the dollar bins at Michaels, but you can find others on Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc. Just look up “silly straw). Party City even has heart shaped straws that would be perfect. So have fun with it and make them your own.
