Free Printable DIY Toy Plane Valentines

Let’s face it. Most valentines that your kids bring home from school are pretty…. well, boring. I am trying to add a little originality to my kids’ Valentine’s Day cards this year, so I decided to make some myself!

I spotted some cute little plane toys at the 99 Cent Store that were PERFECT for making some free printable valentines for you (and me) to print, add a toy plane, and pass out to friends!

Your kids will be the coolest, you won’t be giving out more candy (just what kids need these days, right?), and they will be original valentines that no one else in the class will be passing out. It’s a win win! Oh, and the package of toy planes only cost $1 for five planes, so 20 cents per valentine is totally reasonable. $5 for a class set for my kindergartner.

Here’s the easy directions!

You’ll Need:

Free printable airplane valentines
Toy planes (5 for $1 at the 99 Cent Store)
Glue gun (or glue dots)
Scissor of paper cutter

1. Print and cut the free printable plane valentines.

2. Use a small dot of hot glue on each wheels and under the front of the plane to attach the airplanes to each card. Have your child sign his name on each one, and they’re ready to go!!

I printed out two versions of the cards for you to choose from. One that has the word “From” on it in the bottom right corner, and one that doesn’t say “From” on it, the bottom is just blank. There are four different sayings on each of the four cards that you can print.

Now I just have to hide these valentines so my kids don’t start playing with the planes before they can pass them out! Oh, and if you’re worried about using hot glue to stick the planes on, don’t worry! If you use just a small dot of glue in each spot, the plane comes off if you pull it just a little bit. The glue will definitely hold it in place for your kids to pass them out.

Here’s another one of my favorites- free printable pirate valentines! Just add a couple chocolate coins (dollar store carries these too!) for a unique and adorable boy valentine!

Here’s a great Valentine’s Day idea for the husband… an easy way to open up store-bought fortune cookies, remove the old boring fortune, and add your own own fun steamy fortunes (or use the free printable fortunes I include in the post)!! Unique, easy, and oh so fun!

And while you’re getting your craft on, these easy heart pillows will make your house look lovely!

Enjoy!
