Another fun non-food idea!  If you want, you could make some homemade play-dough, put a small ball of it in a sealed plastic bag and add it to the cookie cutter.  These cute heart shaped cookie cutters would work great!

I love this idea of using printable coloring pages as part of your valentine.  It really doesn’t get much more simple, inexpensive and yet fun than that!

Another really easy-to-assemble valentine!  This 36 ct. pack of wooden rulers is less than $20, making these very inexpensive to make.  And if you want to add a heart embellishment, these glitter foam stickers should work.

I know these would be popular at our house as my children think they can never have too many of these little rubber balls.  You can get a 25 ct. pack of the balls inexpensively here.
