Bow Tie Kids Valentines

This is my oldest daughters last year in elementary school and her last Valentine’s Day school party. Of course we had to make special classroom valentine’s this year. My kids love making their valentine’s more then receiving them. We chose the phrase “Our Friendship Ties Us Together.”  To make it even more fun we made a girl version with hair ties and this gender neutral version with bow ties.

This printable can be used in two different ways! The first way utilizes the bow tie and the small rectangle, which holds the tie together. Candy is placed in the middle of the bow tie and then placed on a second printable. This way can be used for valentines for kids at school.

The second way uses these two pieces as well as the long rectangle which wraps around a large candy bar. This could be a great valentines crafts idea for your kids to give to mom, dad, grandparents or anyone special.
