28 Candy-Free Valentine Favors for School

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.

Alexandra F. said:  Who can resist that stretchy, gooey putty from our own childhood? Answer: no one, not even your older elementary school kids! Silly putty is also a great manipulative Valentine favor for little hands that might have trouble keeping still for very long!

Kelly R said:  I love these little magnetic bookmarks as Valentine's Day favors for school because they're cute and sweet, but still general enough to be used all year round. They come in all different themes and styles to match your kids' Valentines, but this brand is my favorite for durability!

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!

Mommyx3 (Monique H) said:  I actually ordered these for my daughter's class this year for Valentines Day. Each journal cover has an inspiring message while on the inside there are blank pages where the child can simply draw or maybe journal things daily.

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.

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.

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.

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!
