Looking for some out-of-the-ordinary valentines to send to school with your kiddos next week that break ranks with the typical heart motif? (Mothers of boys can certainly appreciate that!) Check out this lineup of twelve ideas you can easily whip up this weekend! 
 
12 unique and easy handmade valentine ideas
 
one.
Pencil Valentines via Simply J Studio @ iVillage
 

A roll of Rolos and a Hershey Kiss are dressed up to make fun pencil favors with this how-to. 
two.
Felt Valentine Envelopes @ Nest of Posies

Whip up a batch of these envelopes to make your candy treats even sweeter!
three.
ABC Valentines @ Oopsey Daisy

Alison offers the printable for this fun idea as a free download on her site! I love the simplicity of this.
four.
Paper Airplane Valentines via Just Something I Made @ Country Living

 
This fun idea gives new meaning to the term “Air Mail!” 
 
five.
Fish Bowl Valentines @ Faboolous
 
 
This is truly one of the cleverest Valentine ideas I’ve seen this year!
 
six.
Friendship Bracelet Valentines @ Dandee
 
 
If you’re looking for a candy-free favor to hand out, this is a perfect option!
 
seven.
I Wheelie Like You Valentines @ Thirty Handmade Days
 
 
What Hot Wheels fanatic wouldn’t flip over this idea? Cute!
 
eight.
Rolo Rocket Valentines @ Shindig
 
 
Good gracious – how cute are these? Head over for the full details and free printables you need to make some of your own.
 
nine.
Blowing Kisses Your Way Valentines @ The Mother Huddle
 
 
I love the creative incorporation of a non-edible treat here, but this idea would also be perfect for chewing gum favors!
 
ten.
Out of this World Valentines @ Zakka Life
 
 
What kiddo doesn’t love to play with bouncy balls? So creative!
 
eleven.
iPod Valentines @ Family Fun
 
 
Gussy up a box of conversation hearts to make these musical valentines.

    I love kisses chocolates because it’s so sweet and rich in flavor! It’s just that I can’t eat too much sweets now because of recent dental treatment with my Bartlett dentist.
