Printable Goldfish Valentine Cards for Kids

Sometimes a holiday meant to celebrate “loooooove” becomes another chore on the “uuuuuugh” to-do list. You don’t have time to bake heart-shaped cookies, frost them, sprinkle them, wrap them, AND attach a heartfelt message to each. It’s OKAY!

Printable Goldfish Valentine Cards for Kids give you all the ease you require, BUT they present way better than those cartoon-themed store bought kids valentines cards we’ve all reached for in a pinch.

The cute kids printable valentine card is SO easy to prep (just print). It also comes with a “punny” note to personalize, making it an ideal classroom valentine. Attach the cards to the crackers and you’re done! Not to mention you can feel good about providing a healthier snack in the midst of all the other sugary treats that will undoubtedly be distributed.

No Stress Treats are the Best

If you made a list of yearly events, parties, and gifts you’re responsible for year after year, you might be surprised at how much you do!

We do these things for our kids, families, and classrooms because we want to. However, when you find all the preparing, planning, and spending becomes something stressful, it’s time to take a step back.

No one expects you to do these amazing things. It’s great when you do, but sometimes easy, stress-free treats are the way to go. Because you’re human.

So enjoy this easy kids valentine card while thinking of it as a valentine gift of love to yourself.
