I have been so impressed with all the clever creative candy-free valentines I've seen floating around the web that I thought I would compile them all into a post!  While I have nothing against candy, I do really love that these cards all give something that can be played with for hours, days, weeks - and maybe even longer.  Since we are huge fans of small world imaginative play around here, you'll see several valentines below that provide little figurines for imaginative play.  :)

Be sure to click on the title of any Valentines you are interested in to see the full post - there you will find the complete tutorial and any accompanying free printables you need to assemble these awesome valentines!
