Once Valentine’s Day cards start to hit the shelf, my mom brain is instantly thinking of all the things my son likes and what Valentines Day cards we should do this year.
I love finding ones that are unique and are all about my son’s current interest (but also super easy). If you have an animal loving kid like mine and are on the hunt for cute and easy animal valentines, then these adorable animal Valentines are the perfect choice for you!
What I love about them is that all I have to do is download the template.
They are easy to assemble and take hardly any extra effort than a store bought Valentine, but are a little more special and personalized, a mom win in my book!
I remember being a kid and spending so much time preparing each one, signing them and picking out each one for the kids in my class. There is something special about the love and care kids put into their Valentines for each other and I find it so sweet watching kids do this for each other.
These animal valentines will be the perfect choice for your animal loving kid and their friends!
Animal Valentines
The free template comes with the cutest animal valentines, each with fun little sayings playing off of the animal’s name or the sound they make.
You can’t beat Valentine’s Day cards with phrases like “You are quack-tackular” or “I’m not lion, you’re the best”!
They are seriously adorable and so much fun all in one, plus the printable cards come with 14 different animals and phrases giving your child a ton of options on what friend gets what animal (I remember sitting there for hours deciding which kid in my class got what Valentine based on the message!).
The little animal clipart is so sweet and each card is filled with hearts, fun colors and a spot for your kid to sign their name. My favorite is the adorable giraffe with the phrase “Our friendship is spot on!”, but all your kid’s favorite animals are there!
These animal valentines are a great way for your animal loving child to share their favorite animal with their friends!
How To Assemble
These cute animal Valentines day cards are super easy to assemble and take just a few minutes of prep. Outside of the printable template, you can use mini stuffed animals if you’d like.
Looking for some ideas? I used these mini stuffed animals. They come in a pack of 32 and have animals that match each of the printable cards. Plus, if you’re like me, I love being able to order something quickly and not have to go out and hunt for things at a store.
1. Download your printable template- just click the link below!
2. Print your free Valentine’s Day cards on white card stock- you want something a little thicker than computer paper.
3. Once printed, you and your child can cut them out. For older kids, let them cut them out themselves. This takes a little time and makes this into a bonus animal craft activity!
4. After they are cut out, have your child sign their name on each card. Looking to make this part a little more fun? Have your child switch off which colors they use! My son loves writing his name in rainbow colors or matching the color of the animal to the color of marker he uses.
5. Once the Valentines are ready to go, find the mini stuffed animal that matches each card design and attach it to the card with tape.
Your child and their classmates will love the fun little sayings and cute little animals!
