We love giving out homemade Valentine’s Day cards around here. Pinterest is full of great ideas, but so many of them are so girly! That makes sense for Valentine’s Day, but my boys don’t always want to hand out frilly hearts. These gender neutral homemade Valentine’s Day ideas are perfect for anyone to give out! {I also love that they include small {inexpensive} gifts that aren’t candy!}
You can find the printables for these Valentine’s Day cards {and more fun activities at www.familyfunmag.com/printables! Just scroll down to February/March 2016 and download the template, then follow the directions under each photo on this post for a super simple but original Valentine’s Day gift!
