20+ Free Printable Valentine’s Day Cards for Kids
Looking for unique and easy valentines for kids? These free printable valentine cards are perfect for classroom exchanges, valentine parties, favors, and more!
I have the best memories of exchanging valentines as a kid!
Well, except for that one time I drew a cute little picture of a boy and girl kissing on my 2nd grade valentine box and got made fun of and ended up in a puddle of tears…
And then there was that time that I wrote “I love you” in tiny print at the bottom of my 4th grade crush’s valentine and he confronted me about it the next day, at which point I acted completely dumbfounded, all while going beet red…
Yeah, the best memories. 🤣
I do love Valentine’s Day, though! And picking out the valentine cards that I was going to exchange with friends in my class was definitely a highlight (I’m looking at you, Lisa Frank and Backstreet Boys…swoon).
All that to say…welcome to this post where I designed a whole bunch of free printable valentine cards for you and your kid(s)! Yes, you could go out and buy your own valentines. But these free printables are a great way to save money and an easy way to make unique valentines that feel a little more homemade (with hardly any work on your part!).
There are a ton of cute printable valentines here. All are instant download (I don’t ask you for any info, you’re welcome) and you can use as many times as you want for personal use! (Hint: Save this post to return to for next Valentine’s, too!)

How to use these printable Valentine’s Day cards
All of these free printables are in PDF format. Print at 100% scale and select borderless printing to make sure none of the design gets cut off. I recommend printing on white cardstock for best results.
Since all of these tags are in full color, I definitely recommend a color printer or sending these valentines cards to a local print shop for high quality prints. If you can only print in black and white (or want to save printer ink), the printable tags linked at the end of this post have some black and white options you could use (though they might be a little more boring for kids).
Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut the tags out.
A lot of these valentine printables fit eight on one page, making these great for mass-producing valentines for elementary school classes or large groups. Simply fill out the “from” and attach to a small treat or gift. Putting valentines together is a fun activity for kids, too, so don’t forget to grab yours to help!
Who/what can you use these free printable valentine’s cards for?
These free printable cards are specifically designed for a classroom valentine exchange, but they can also be used for:
- Valentine’s Day gifts (for anyone)
- valentine party favors
- preschool classes
- teacher gifts (to or from)
- neighbor & friend gifts
- primary gifts or gifts for ministering sisters
- birthday party favors
A lot of the valentine card sets include at least one card that says Happy Valentine’s Day. But there are multiple cards that can be repurposed for other times of the year and other gift-giving occasions! So don’t limit yourself to just Valentines Day!

Free Construction Valentines
These free printable construction valentine cards are so adorable–one of my son’s favorites! They feature cute construction trucks and vehicles with punny messages, like “I really dig you!” These would be great paired with a set of toys like these.
Free Dollar Store Stamps Valentines
The dollar store is a great place to look for easy (& cheap) valentine gifts for kids! I found a fun pack of 10 stampers and whipped up some printable cards to go with. Get the free printable stamp cards HERE.
Star Wars Glow Stick Valentines
Glow sticks are a fun, non-candy valentine option, and these Star Wars lightsaber valentines are sure to win over a few kids. Get the free printable Star Wars glow stick valentines HERE.
Free Zoo Animals Valentines
Don’t these cute animals just make you so happy? (Actually, I think that’s a real thing, that looking at cute animals can reduce stress and anxiety. They’re probably talking about actual animals, but these watercolor zoo animals are pretty realistic!)
Because I couldn’t decide which version of these zoo animal valentines I liked best–with red hearts, pink hearts, or plain–you get all three in a single PDF. Just choose the one you like and be sure to only print that page!
Free Bear Valentines
These cute bear valentines are classic and full of “beary” sweet puns. There’s just something about bears with hearts that give you all the Valentine’s Day feels, right? Probably all those teddy bears that you see in stores around Valentine’s…I received one of those once a very long time ago, haha.
I thought these bear key chains would make a super cute gift or simply attach one of the cards to a pack of gummy bears.
Free “Color me happy” Valentines
These free coloring valentine cards are another great non-candy valentine option. Simply add a few crayons for a cute, interactive valentine. The PDF file contains 12 fun designs that kids can color. Get the free printable coloring valentines HERE.
Free Dinosaur Valentines
Okay, and these cute dinosaur valentines are officially my son’s favorite. While I was creating them, he was choosing which ones he wanted to keep for himself (which ended up being most of them). These make great valentines for little boys, but dino-loving girls will appreciate them as well!
How cute would these cards be with these squishy dinosaur toys, these dino pop its, or even these mini bubble favors?
Free Unicorn Valentines
If I had a daughter, these unicorn valentines would be the clear winner (obviously). What little girls can resist adorable rainbow unicorns and a sparkly pink and purple color scheme? (Sadly, they have nothing on my Lisa Frank valentines from my childhood…*sigh* those were awesome.)
These tags would go great with unicorn slime or these bubbles.
Free Pop It Valentines
Fidget toys like pop it toys make great non-candy valentines for kids! These pop it valentine tags come in lots of shapes and sizes to fit your pop it toys perfectly. Get the free printable pop it valentines HERE.
Free Robot Valentines
If you have an elementary-aged kid, you know how popular robots are. These cute robot valentines have funny puns like “I like you a bot!” and “I’m nuts and bolts about you!” If you need a non-candy option, these bendy robot toys are adorable.
Pop It Bracelet Valentines
Okay, these aren’t technically a printable valentine…but if you have a Cricut, you can easily make these pop it bracelet valentine cards and let your Cricut do all the work! Get the project HERE.
Free Monster Valentines
We can’t forget the monsters, another kid-favorite. These monster valentines are more cute than scary and so fun for both girls and boys.
Free Play-Doh Valentines
Kids of all ages will love these Play-Doh valentines! The free printable valentine cards have a fun rainbow stripe border and include cute plays on the word “play-doh.” Get the free printable play-doh valentines HERE.
Free Sloth Valentines
If the sloth is your spirit animal, you’re not alone. I know lots of people (both kids and adults) who would swoon over these adorable sloth valentine cards. (And there are tons of sloth toys that would make really cute gifts with this!)
Free Love Bug Valentines
I’m not a fan of bugs (even toy ones), but I bet you know a kid who is. These printable love bug valentines feature an empty jar image, perfect for taping or tying on a plastic insect. Ew…but I bet kids will love it. Get the free printable bug valentines HERE.
Free Transportation Valentines
“If I had a dollar for every toy in my house that has wheels and goes vroom…” -said all boy (and girl) moms everywhere. But it’s true, kids love cars…and trucks and planes and trains. These transportation valentines are perfect for preschool and elementary-aged kids.
Free Sea Creature Valentines
If your child has an ocean animal-loving heart, then these sea creature valentines will be right up their alley (translation: they’ll like them). I’m a sucker for cute animals with cute faces, so these sea creature valentines make me smile. Bonus points for also being punny.
Free Glow Sticks Valentines
Here’s another cute glow stick valentine! These say “You make my heart glow Valentine!” and are super quick to put together. Get the free printable glow stick valentines HERE.
Free Frog Valentines
I’m “toad-ally” falling for these frog valentines. Aw, you can just image how adorable this little guy’s “ribbit” would be, right? These frog valentine cards are fun for kids, but I would “toad-ally” use them as tags for my own valentines.
