17 Cute Kids' Valentine's Day Cards

OrientalTrading/Amazon

If you grew up in a certain era (ahem), giving Valentine’s Day cards to the class was easy. You went to whatever store was in walking distance, found some kind of heart-shaped missive that wasn’t too mushy or embarrassing, signed your name (making sure you had one for everyone, since no one wants to cause hurt feelings), and passed them out as quickly as possible, hoping your crush didn’t read anything extra into the way you dotted your I’s with hearts.

Now, kids' Valentine’s Day cards are next level. They’re emblazoned with every licensed character imaginable. They come with stickers, tattoos, candy, and other treats. Some evolve into crafts when they’re done, like cootie catchers or paper airplanes. Some are activities in and of themselves, with puzzles to solve or messages to decode. It certainly makes the class Valentine’s Day card exchange seem a lot more fun, but there are also a lot more choices out there. From preschool to middle school, these 16 buy-in-bulk, boxed card sets are sure to be a hit with the class.

And of course you could always avoid the mass-produced route and do your own DIY Valentine’s cards with a heartfelt message inside each one, but where’s the fun in that?
