I knew non-candy Valentines for classroom Valentine’s Day exchanges was a thing but my daughter’s preschool upped the ante by asking that any Valentine given has no food. Gone are my dreams of “you’re a cutie” Valentine cards with a little tangerine attached, Goldfish crackers adorned with “I’m so glad you’re in my school”. Time to figure something else out… so I went on the hunt for Valentines for School Ideas and found some really cute stuff!
