I’m not a stickler for not giving my children candy in this house, but I don’t buy it so it is rare that my children get their hands on it.
…..Halloween, Valentines Day and the birthday party treat bag are like hitting the jackpot for my children.
This Valentines’s Day I was looking for something creative to do as Valentine treats and GoGo squeeZ’s free printables were the answer.
Addison and I had a great evening “crafting” her presents for her class. You can find the free printable HERE and there are a number of different ones to choose from, Addison just chose these.
In the event you aren’t familiar with GoGo squeez and why its a great alternative for candy….here you go.
Make sure to follow GoGo squeeZ on the Web, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest for other fun tidbits and activities.
*I have received product, compensation or a combination of both for this post. None of these factors has affected my opinion. You already know!!!*

February 9, 2014 at 9:00 pmSo simple and fun! This will be my second year doing non-candy Valentine’s. I figure they’ll get enough sweets at their party.

February 10, 2014 at 11:24 amHow cute is that! I have always felt that these homemade kid written valentines are so much more meaningful than the boxed versions. I also love the idea of going candy free!

February 10, 2014 at 11:50 amThese are really cute…thank you for sharing. I have always made the Chazman’s Valentine’s for his classmates but sadly he informed me just this morning that I didn’t have to do it this year. Just get some cards for him to give out. Geez…I mean he is in the 5th grade but I was hoping my fun would last a lot longer…hehe

February 10, 2014 at 12:08 pmThat’s a lovely idea. I’m commenting from France where the idea of children giving presents/candies at valentine’s is unheard of, so I find this really interesting from a cultural point of view. On the other hand, French kids suck a lot of this sort of fruit purée, called compote here. Thanks to SITS for introducing me to your blog.

February 10, 2014 at 12:54 pmI’m so happy I was finally able to check out your blog. The link of the SITS doc would not work, so I just Googled you 🙂
I love these products and the little craft is cute!

February 10, 2014 at 8:29 pmWhat a great idea! I am already cringing at the amount of candy my preschooler is going to be bring home! We might just have to try these instead of the conversation hearts I was going to get!
Nicky
February 10, 2014 at 9:27 pmThat’s a really cute idea. I always look for something other than candy to give on V-Day and Halloween.

February 10, 2014 at 10:38 pmLOVE the outfit! LOVE LOVE the rainboots! LOVE LOVE LOVE mixing prints. But not on myself. haha. I’m just bad at trying to be a “fashionista”. I love it on other women, but I can never get it right or be creative enough for myself. 🙁

February 10, 2014 at 11:24 pmWhat a great idea! I heard a lot of schools are just banning all treats 🙁 I pretend I am buying the candy for our patients but of course I steal a few 😉

February 11, 2014 at 10:57 amThis is such a great idea. I know all the Momma’s will be happy when there is a healthier treat in the midst of all the junk that gets sent home on Valentine’s day!

February 11, 2014 at 8:19 pmMy 3 year old loves these kinds of things. Funny, I saw these this weekend in a free sample vending machine at Sam’s Club but they were out. I will have to go back and give them a try
