Toddler Valentines with free printable

My son recently graduated to the toddler room at his daycare and they are doing a Valentine's Day exchange.  I have to admit that I am oddly excited to have a chance to participate in these cute exchanges again... woo hoo elementary school!  I cringed a little bit when the note mentioned bringing treats to share.  I'm all about an occasional indulgence, but all I could picture was a room full of 2 year olds with their fists full of candy.  I decided to send my son with a treat of which I'd be happy to be on the receiving end.  The baby food pouches have been all the rage for few years now, but they are also starting to break into the toddler and young child market.  These GoGo Squeez pouches are sold in boxes of 12 and are under $0.60 each.  The baby food pouches generally run $1.25 or more each.

I have zero crafting ability, but I did decide to make these exchange gifts for his class rather than buying a box of Valentines.  Non-crafters... this project is for you.  You're welcome to use my free printable template linked here to get you started.

Ingredients:

- Squeezable fruit pouch
- Card stock printer paper
- Hole punch
- Ribbon or curling ribbon
- Printable template


1.  Print the cards onto a heavy paper or card stock and cut out the individual cards from the page.  The template has 8 per page.

2.  Write your message on the back of the card and add any additional embellishments such as stickers or designs.

3.  Punch a hole in the corner of the card.  (I used a heart hole punch for a little something extra!)

4.  String your ribbon through the hole in the card and secure to the neck of the pouch by wrapping it around once or twice.  Tie.

Enjoy!
