2) Kids Craft Scissors - "Valentine, you’re a 'cut' above the rest!"

While they're not themed for Valentine's Day, you could use these FREE printables from Mary over at Craft Buds along with some Valentine's Day themed ribbon and stickers to create a cute gift! She offers two different printables - "Thanks for making me so SHARP!" and "You're a CUT above the rest!"

3) Crayons, Watercolor Paints, Kids Paint Brush, etc. - "Valentine, you 'color' my world!"

Whether you choose a box of crayons, watercolor paints, or something else, Amber over at Crazy Little Projects has a super cute (and colorful!) printable that you can use to create these awesome valentines!

4) Highlighter - "Valentine, you’re the 'highlight' of the class!" or "Valentine, you're the 'highlight' of my day!"

While the first printable is not available for download (we included it as more of an example), the second picture/printable, created by Jamie of Creating Really Awesome Free Things, can be downloaded for FREE over at Jamie's site!
