Easy Valentine’s Day Gifts {For Parents & Students}

Valentine’s Day is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!! Are you ready?

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but…I’m ready!

Here’s an easy idea for a parent gift:

All you need:

-a whiteboard

-a whiteboard marker

-some hearts

-some kiddos

-construction paper {for cards}

It took me all of 5 seconds to make this board {okay not including the dicut hearts}. While my students were walking around doing our review scoot, I snagged them and took their picture.

I printed through Target’s one-hour photos, glued them on the front of the cards {folded pieces of white construction paper}, then had the kids write inside and decorate {obviously we went over what to write, how to write it, etc.}.

So, I’m not a health nut, but I am pretty much against any sugary gifts for my students {since HELLO that’s all they give each other for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Easter…the list goes on and on}. I always like to give trinkets OR a healthy treat.

This year and last year I gave my students bubbles as their Valentine’s gift.

Here’s this year’s:

These aren’t availave anymore, but here’s something similar.

the bubbles are from Target

Here’s last year’s:

Last year, I threw a yogurt parfait party (again trying to be on the “healthier” side, instead of candy candy candy}. The kids LOVED building their own snacks and the parents were thrilled I offered somewhat healthier choices {yes, I am the person at school who despises cupcakes, but in this day and age, I’m pretty sure every teacher has cupcakes on the WHY GOD WHY list}.

disclaimer, this is not my picture, I had forgotten to take pictures of my parfaits last year!

I hope these were some helpful, easy ideas for a smooth Valentine’s Day!
