    If you are anything like our family, every year we start the search for great kids Valentine's ideas, and then it isn't till the night before, that we have nothing. With a quick trip to the dollar store or even the party aisle at Walmart, we came up with two really cute Yo-Yo Valentine's Day Ideas.

    We have so many cute kid's Valentine's ideas on Made with HAPPY including play-doh valentines, birdseed heart valentines, or one of our favorite gumball machine valentines.

    Yo Yo Valentines Ideas that are a great non-candy valentines option.

    Picking a Valentine's Day Card Idea

    We thought this year would be so much fun to incorporate my son's favorite new (old) toy, the Yo-Yo.

    Looking for some Valentine's Day Crafts? Check out our Easy Paper Crafts for Kids for Valentines Day and Heart Crafts Projects For Kids.

    The three things I look for and guide my children through when picking their kid's Valentine's idea are as follows.

    1. Is it cost-efficient? There are plenty of times my kids want to give each of their classmates fidget cubes. When each cube costs 5-10 dollars, I explain that multiplying that by 25 is just not realistic.
    2. Is it something that will appeal to both girls and boys? While I love me a cute princess crown or army soldier toy, it's good to remember that some kids may not love the same toys as you, so coming up with multiple options is nice.
    3. That size is realistic. My son asked me if he could hand out large stuffed animal snakes to each of his friends. While those are fun, they are large and probably not realistic bringing the whole class one each.

    We found these fun Yo-Yos at our favorite dollar store, and being oh so indecisive, I created two different printables and you can find both at the bottom of the post.

    The first of the two is the XOX which is OH SO Cute because I LOVE hugs and kisses. The second is a Yo Yo Yo Printable that is all kinds of fun!

    Once you have printed your Valentine's card, it's time to cute a hole in the middle.

    How to assemble an XOX Yo-Yo-Valentines. Non-Candy Kids Valentines Ideas

    I used my 1-inch circle punch for the middle. Lightly fold your card in half long ways, making sure to not make a crease across the entire valentine. then slip your 1-inch circle punch in there and cut half the circle.

    It will provide you will a great hole to start. Then using your scissors, cut a slit around the circle moving out about a centimeter. I make the cuts like a pizza. One at the top and the bottom and the left and the right.

    Rainbow Valentines Ideas using Yo-Yos. We love rainbow, we love yo-yos and we're putting together some amazing kids valentines ideas.

    Then between the top and right and top and left and then the same on the bottom. That will provide you enough room to slip the Yo-Yo in and then give it some paper to hold onto and not slip out.

    The same method with the circle punch is used for the second Yo-Yo Valentines Printable, the Yo Yo Yo Be My Valentines?

    Yo-Yo Valentines Ideas. Kids Valentines Ideas with two different types of printable valentines.

    You simply

    • Cut out the Valentines
    • Punch the hole in the middle

    • Attach your Yo-Yo

    Write your name and BOOM, you are done.
