Growing up, Valentine’s Day was always one of my favorite days at school. Everyone brought Valentine’s Day cards for everyone else and I’d go home with a full mailbox stuffed full of small treats, stickers, and fun Valentine’s Day cards.
Now that I have my own kids, I love helping them put together their cards- and we pick a new fun way every year!
We have definitely gotten store-bought cards in the past when the kids were really into a particular character or we were running really low on time, but when we can we like to use printable cards with a clever pun and a small gift or treat to go with it!

If you’re looking for free printables for cute cards that kids of all ages can pass out in class, look no further! These pencil Valentines are so cute and are a great way for kids to give their classmates a small gift without giving candy for those whose parents would prefer they skip the sugar!
What makes these free printable Valentine’s Day cards for students unique?
I don’t know about you, but I love a good pun- and Valentine’s Day Cards have always been known for them!
Those puns can be even better when coupled with a small gift or treat, like the pencil in this case!
Making your own Valentine’s Day cards is also a fun craft idea to do with the kids- so not only are they celebrate Valentine’s Day at their class party but at home, too!
