V Day is Kind of Messy

I’ve been scrambling to pick out Valentine’s Day goodies for my kids and their classmates but literally everything is plastic! I don’t want to be a total bummer but there are almost NO options for simple, low/no waste treats - cut to me googling all the things! Here’s what I’ve come up with so far. (note: I would glue on a single piece of candy to any of these things just because you know…kids). Here we go:

For classmates:

1. Single flower with a cardboard note attached

2. Cut out hearts in this seed paper that will grow into something. https://www.amazon.com/Bloomin-Original-Crafting-sheets-8-5x11/dp/B015RVW9QY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B015RVW9QY&pd_rd_r=d320192e-e6ec-4dc7-957c-173e61b1f9c5&pd_rd_w=W0aeN&pd_rd_wg=bqlWQ&pf_rd_p=3ec6a47e-bf65-49f8-80f7-0d7c7c7ce2ca&pf_rd_r=EPJKCQZV00R9YGT83CXC&psc=1&refRID=EPJKCQZV00R9YGT83CXC&linkCode=ll1&tag=rediscofamili-20&linkId=fd24816970299145487bd6e84b513850&language=en_US
