Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, and if you have kids, then you know this can be a stressful time. Coming up with cute and fun Valentines to give to classmates can be a struggle. With all the allergies and food sensitivities these days, I like to stay away from giving candy. But what can kids bring in to classmates? I have spent lots of time researching some fun trinkets so you don’t have to. These are The Best Non-Candy Valentines and they take all the guesswork out of classroom treats for the big day.
