26 Candy-Free Valentine Favors for School

Sarah Calamita said:  I love non-candy options, especially for the little ones. Fun chapsticks are a good gift for 3+ and paired with a cute card and washi tape make for a really fun Valentine's exchange.

Kelly R. said:  Valentine's Day happens to hit around the time when the classroom supplies start running low, and a DIY Valentine with an "I'm Stuck on You!" sentiment accompanied by a glue stick is a cute way to replenish!

Alexandra F. said:  I love it when my kids get favors they can use over and over again, and miniature animals are a great option for preschoolers and younger kids. Add a cute "wild about you" message and your school valentines are set! If you are willing to splurge a bit, we really like the quality of these Wild Republic mini animals - not quite as good as Schleich, but better than most other animal figurines, and smaller (and cheaper!) than most Schleich toys.

Sarah Calamita said:  Any little boy would love to receive a matchbox car! The "I Wheelie Like You" cards are so cute and leave a little spot for the cars!

Sarah Calamita said:  A "You are Dinomite" card pairs well with these cute little dinos.

Alexandra F. said:  I’m not a huge fan of pencils as kids favors generally (we just get way too many), but the exception has always been “special” pencils, with scented pencils being the most special of all! I feel like kids automatically love any scented stationary/school supplies, making these sweet-smelling pencils perfect Valentine favors for school.

Kelly R. said:  Each of the scratch art bookmarks in this party pack comes complete with its own stylus, so you can include a complete DIY craft with each Valentine.

Kelly R. said:  This easy origami for kids uses simple technique to create a cute heart-shaped bookmark that slides onto the corner of a page. Kids can add their own sweet sentiments for a conversation heart style and hand them out to classmates as special and useful Valentine favors for school. From Pink Stripey Socks

Sarah Calamita said:  These cute light up rings are the best! The Ever Co has the best Valentine printables, one says "You light up my whole world".

Alexandra F. said:  These pop it toys are such a hit with my kids (and all kids, as far as I can tell!), and these little bracelets are an easy way for them to carry the pop it fun with them wherever they go. We'll be handing these out to my son's kindergarten classmates this year.
