I’m not the mom who is strict with candy intake (ignore what my kids say), but I know they get plenty of it from friends, teachers, classmates, and school. So, in lieu of sweet valentines, I bring you five clever ones without the sugar.
They are easy and cheap to DIY with your kids. In fact, my four- and nine-year-old kids made these with little help from me.
Click the pictures below for the printables. All y’all have to do is print, cut, attach, and give! Happy sugar-free Valentine’s Day!
