37 Valentine’s Day Cards for Kids They’re Going to Love
Do you remember waking up on Valentine's Day as a child and heading to school with a bag full of sweet little Valentine's Day cards for kids in your class? Remember the excitement of personalizing them the night before, deciding which friend was going to get which Valentine? Who was going to be #blessed with a blue raspberry lollipop? (The greatest of all lollipops, BTW.)
It was so much fun to give cards and treats to all of your friends, and just as fun to get them in return. It’s a heady dose of nostalgia for adults and it’s only gotten better for kids today — most cards now come with fun little extras, like candy and surprise toys, that are sure to make their valentines feel extra special.
The carefully curated Valentine's Day cards for kids on our list are trendy and even let kids DIY a bit — plus, they just plain give something special to share with their classmates. Check out our favorite Valentine's Day cards for kids that your little ones are sure to adore.
P.S. A lot of the cards your kids will be getting will have a little something extra attached, so be sure to make the slot big enough when you make their Valentine's Day box!

Bubble wands are even better for kids than they are for weddings because there's little risk a child will accidentally sit on and break them, spilling the soapy liquid all over a blush-colored silk designer gown.
