Happy Valentine’s Day planning!
1. Stationary Gift Sets
We love this Valentine-themed stationary gift set on Amazon! Each child in a classroom can have their own eraser, pencil, booklet, sticker set, and card! How cute is that?! And you get so many items in this bulk set instead of candy! Win-win!
2. Heart Shaped Pop-Its
Love these cute pop-it toys! Bonus points for it being prepackaged with the Valentine card! No extra effort required besides your child signing the cards.
3. Pokemon Keychains
My tutoring students LOVE all things Pokemon. These Valentine keychains are so much fun for kids to put on their backpacks!
4. Friendship Bracelets
These heart ornament friendship bracelets are sooooo precious! 😍
5. Crazy Straws
What a cute idea! These Valentine cards are “ex-straw” colorful and creative!
6. Foam Airplanes
One of my students passed out these toy planes in his 3rd grade classroom and they were a huge hit!
7. Squishy Toys
These adorable animal themed squish toys have us squealing! I need that baby rhino in my life!
8. Dinosaur Eggs That Hatch
Place these dino eggs in water and watch them “hatch” into a baby dinosaur that grows!
9. LED Space Finger Lights
LED lights are popular with most students, so definitely check these out!
10. Dino Building Block Trinkets
We thought these building kits were unique because the kids actually get to assemble the blocks to make their dinosaur! However, there is a skin tattoo included in this kit, so be weary of possible hidden allergens in that.
11. Bug Building Block Trinkets
I’ve never wanted this many bugs in my house before, but I think I can get on board with these little cuties!
12. Animal Building Block Trinkets
More building block fun with these animal critters! I’m actually tempted to buy these for myself to build instead of my kids.
13. Video Game Keychains
These are fun keychains that would be a hit for upper elementary aged students!
14. Finger Flick Sports Cards
Another great pick for upper elementary grades, these cards turn into small sport venues!
15. Mini Animal Plushes
Miniature stuffed animals on a keychain? Yes, please!
16. Lego Star Wars Toys
May the Force be with you! Your child will love passing these out to their friends!
17. Toy Flower Kit
These flower bouquet building kits are super unique! My daughter would probably love getting this as a Valentine’s gift.
18. Finger Spinners
Fidget spinners have been on the rage for years, so these small and colorful finger spinners are a crowd pleaser for all ages.
19. Bubble Wands
A classic! Kids will love blowing bubbles after getting these cute wands as a Valentine’s gift.
20. Toy Cars
Vroom, Vroom! Speed on over to Amazon to check out these awesome toy car Valentine cards! If my son were in school, I can guarantee this would be his favorite Valentine’s gift!
We hope you have a fun Valentine’s Day!
