Valentine’s Day Class Gift Ideas: Ex-STRAW-dinary, Ex-STRAW-special!

Now that the girls are in school we had to do valentines for all their classmates. And as usual having twins means double of everything, and no we can’t do one from the both of them, they each have to give one to every kid in the class. That makes for a whole lot of valentines! I realized pretty quickly I needed something cheap but cute. One trip to dollar tree and I had my idea. Straws!

Valentine's Day Class Gift Ideas: Ex-STRAW-dinary, Ex-STRAW-special! - Inexpensive but cute gift for your kid's classmates on Valentine's Day!
Here are some super fun Valentine’s day class gift ideas!
My girls love using straws and with these cute and quirky straws I knew I could come up with something. I was going to make a printable myself that said: I could just drink you up! but then I thought that might be a bit much for 2 year olds LOL. A quick google search and I found lots of options with free printables. Here are my four favorite ideas. I ended up using three of them 🙂

These aren’t exactly printables but they are so cute!! these would also be great as birthday party favors cause they could double as photo booth props. I will have to remember these for a future party for the twinkies. Thank you card maker magazine.

I found these on Lil Luna.

These were also from Lil Luna

Bargain Briana had these cuties

So with these Valentine’s Day Class gift ideas in hand, I printed out the printable and cut them out in squares and rectangles.

The straws came 7 in a package for $1

 

Once I had my cut outs, I used my trusty exacto knife to cut slits for the straws on the top and bottom

 

Insert straws and viola!

Told you I had to make alot of them.
I simply wrote the girls names on the back.

 

BONUS PROJECT!
I also made a little box for them to take their straws to school in, and also to collect the valentines they received from their classmates. No clutter, valentines have their place this year!

I just took a shoe box and drew a small rectangle on the lid and using my exacto knife I cut out the rectangle

Easy peasy

Next step….cover the shoe box with gift wrap paper.

Cut through the gift wrap paper where the slit is in the lid.

And there it is.

Easiest decoration ever, duck tape!! I love all the pretty duck tape they have nowadays, I just happened to pick this one up over a year ago and never used it. It was perfect for this project

 

The girls proudly walked into school with their box of valentines today

Extremely simple project, you could even have the kids decorate their own boxes!
