Valentine’s Day Non-Candy Treat Ideas

February 10, 2020 23 Comments

I try to go the no-chocolate/no-candy Valentine’s Day treat route (with food sensitivities, food allergies, and sugar highs I opt on the side of safe!). I have 12 Valentine’s Day Non-Candy Treat Ideas which will make great Valentine’s Day Class Treats!

Valentine's Day Non-Candy Treat Ideas

12 Valentine’s Day Non-Candy Treat Ideas

  1. Zipit Monster Zipper Twister Pencil Case, Mastermind Toys
  2. Elope Heart Shaped Sunglasses, Mastermind Toys
  3. PLAY-DOH Valentines Bag, Target
  4. Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers, Loblaws
  5. Valentines Day Lip Whistles, Party City
  6. Valentines Day Glitter Pencils 12ct, Party City
  7. Valentines Day Mega Sticker Box 1000ct, Party City
  8. Touchable Bubbles Test Tube, Mastermind Toys
  9. Safari Limited Lion Good Luck Mini Figure, Mastermind Toys
  10. Valentine’s Day Krazy Straw, Party City
  11. Valentines Day Puzzle Cube, Party City
  12. Glow Stick Necklace, Party City

List not in order?! True. We could call it a Valentine’s Mix n’ Match game or Valentine’s Bingo activity or simply there-are-not-enough-hours-in-my-day (last one is my pick).

Feelin’ DIY for Valentine’s Day? Try my Valentine’s Day Class Treats suggestions on how to make a Valentine’s Day pencil holder or Valentine’s Day ruler holder.

I do give sweets to my kids on Valentine’s Day (after school!)…I just think…if I was a teacher…I wouldn’t want 30 kids in my class in arms-reach to sugar while on school time.

Therefore, I’m pretty sure this is will be our aprΓ¨s l’Γ©cole Valentine’s Day sweet treat…sugar high on my time?…yes please!

Easy Chocolate Trifle

My Easy Chocolate Trifle recipe. It is amazeballs πŸ˜‰

    Great ideas! We tend to give our grandkids a tiny bit of chocolate with another non edible treat or a good book!

    My little guy has a peanut allergy so we are always looking at alternative gifts than candy/treats. Thanks for the good ideas!

    some good tips for non-candy treats. Though I must say there was never all this hype about sweets when I was a child nor when my own children were small. I know that my grandchildren don’t get many, it usually ends up with half of their Halloween collection being dumped so the bucket’s free for the next Halloween as it looms closer.

Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And wit Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And with my recent concussion...I've had a lesson of setting (and sticking to) boundaries. 

Also, I'm learning kids need reminders of boundaries too. (Auto-regulation with virtual school is a CHALLENGE here!)

There are times to do things and there are times NOT to do things. There are times to say yes and times when it is totally OK to say no. 

What kind of boundaries are you setting?
Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if she wanted to colour my hair. Because pandemic. 

Navigating emotions is a challenge now (I believe @ericaehm has written about this). Teens are cut off from routine, in-person school, social circles. And add in being home with parents and siblings all the time. It's tough for all.

Luckily here, we seem to be rotating feeling the funk so when one is down someone else boosts them up.

Like "hey wanna colour my hair?!".

It's too dark in my opinion...but who cares..it's only hair...and I'm not going anywhere. And it was something different to do in a day.

Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚ Available at pu Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.
