Non-Candy Valentine Printables

Three FREE Non-Candy Valentine Printables for Kids

Finally getting the last of this year’s FREE Valentine printables! Better late than over! Okay, so my daughter came home and told me that her teacher was encouraging the students to bring in Valentine’s that were non-candy. There are a lot of children with allergies in her class. So we decided to do a combination of three different styles of Non-Candy Valentine Printables for you to print at home FREE to you!

All the toys I bought at Target, but I will link similar products below. My daughter is in second grade so she told me she didn’t want the toys be too babyish! But she was happy with the ideas I picked out!

Everyone loves the heart glasses! This free non-candy valentine printable says it all and is perfect for school age children. You can order plastic heart glasses or googly eyes finger puppet for the gift. We just used tape to hold it down . Download after the jump!

Your friendship blows me away with this free printable! You can never go wrong with bubbles! You can also add instead a punching balloon bag or a heart balloon for the child to blow up. Those are always fun!

Last but not least–the color theme non-candy Valentine Printable. My daughter is really into markers these days so she wanted to hand out markers, but you can add a little paint palette to the Valentine for a maximize colorful effect! The kids would love it!

Fortnite Valentine Printable

Free Fortnite Valentine Printable for all the Fortnite Fans!

Back by popular demand–free Valentine printables! I am so happy everyone loves the free Valentine printables that I have done in years past. I’m excited to team up again with my graphic designer Melissa, who is amazing with executing my designs. So, this year I had to do a Fortnite Valentine printable because my boys are so into the game, and I couldn’t find any other Fortnite valentines that I really liked. I am sorry to all the other moms for encouraging Fortnite!! The game drives me crazy too. LOL!

These Fornite Valentine printable has more of a simple, modern look to it compared to the 3-D commercialized Valentines. We designed these Fortnite Valentine Printables after the Star Wars printables that we did a few years back and that has been a huge hit. And you know that I usually do my children’s valentines after their current interest. Similar to the minecraft valentine cubes that we also did a few years ago and are still a huge success and also the Rubik’s cube valentines.

We attached these Fortnite Valentine Printables to conversation heart boxes for their treat. But you can always do some kind of toy or other candy. Many teachers these days require no candy or food for Valentines.

Gingerbread House Decorating Party + FREE printables

Gingerbread House Decorating Party–the perfect holiday birthday party

Gingerbread House Decorating Party + FREE Printables

I am so excited to finally be sharing details from Chloe’s birthday party! She is a December baby, so this year we decided to celebrate her 8th birthday with a Gingerbread House Decorating Party. It turned out so cute, and it’s the perfect party for the perfect age. Chloe and her friends spent so much time enjoying decorating (and eating) their gingerbread house. They only needed minimal help, so there wasn’t too much hands-on help needed from me which was great! My house was already decorated for the holidays so the party decorations were mostly decorations from our Christmas supply.

The main party activity was decorating gingerbread houses! So, to have a unified look I bought pre-built gingerbread houses that came with candy and frosting. It saved me a ton of time and less stress! I was thinking originally of buying the ginger house kits and then assembling it, but to make 13 gingerbread houses made me cringe and also I was concerned that many of the houses would break and fall apart. Which they always do! The pre-built gingerbread houses were worth the extra dollars, and they were sturdy and easy for the girls to transport. If you plan to host a gingerbread house decorating party, make sure you have plenty of Saran Wrap so you can wrap the houses up with a bow and the kids can take them home without getting damage.

I made sure to supply printables and the link to download is at the end of the Gingerbread House Decorating Party post!

I placed the gingerbread houses on glitter 12×12 paper and then I bought a few more bags of candy but most of the candy came from the kit. For the departing bags, we just gave the girls bath bombs and then the little thank you bag served as a place for the girls to put their left over candy.

We also had a dessert table, of course! The best part of a birthday party. I had the bakery match the cookies and cupcakes to the printables. They all came out so cute! We also had milk and snowflake marshmallows.

Aren’t the printables so sweet? They are my favorite and just make the gingerbread house decorating party. I linked all the resources below and a Pinterest pin photo. Don’t forget to share this party idea with others!

Disney’s Descendants Birthday Party + Free Printables

Disney princesses continue to be strong in our house, at least for my littlest princess. After an obsessive bout with Frozen and all things Frozen, my Chloe has switched her attention to Disney’s Descendants. If you don’t yet know about Descendants, it’s a cute movie about the children of Disney’s fairy tale characters. So, after dressing up as one of the characters in Descendants, Chloe, of course, wanted a themed party around the magical characters. The jay descendants costume was very popular among the guests too! I am excited to finally share with you Chloe’s Descendants Birthday Party that I threw for her back in December. But with all the Christmas and New Year posts, I had to delay posting this cute Descendants Birthday Party until now!

I teamed up again with Melissa’s Designs to bring you darling free printables that you can use at your child’s Descendants Birthday Party. The download link is at the end of the post. The girls had so much fun at the party! I’m sharing all the party details below.

Sweet tables are favorite among party guests, especially if they are little! Also they are just visually appealing and a great way to emphasize the party theme. I love watching the children’s eyes get widen and ooh and ahh at the sweet table. It really builds up the anticipation of the party. I usually don’t let the guests touch anything on the table until cake is served. And then the candy in the jars are always apart of their take-home gift. So they usually don’t have any candy until they get home. This helps keep the sugar levels under control! I thought of decorating the table further with some balloon sculptures, I even looked up how to make balloon sculptures and I would have done it if I had a bit more time! I’m sure the kids would have loved to have been able to play with some balloon decorations as well. It might have helped keep them off the sweets until the cake was served.

For the Descendants’ Sweet table, we focused on the red apple theme in Descendants and Mal’s color purple. For all the party baking sweets, I turned to Crystal from Bell & Co Cakes. She is amazing! Her cakes are not only look perfect, but the taste is so yummy. We ate the entire cake in one day! The party designs were just how I wanted them–cake pops, cupcakes and cake–they all came out so perfect. The best part of the cake was the fondant, which I usually don’t like.

For the Descendants Birthday party entertainment, we decided to do make-up and hair party. Each of the party guest had a table setting with make-up supplies, wash cloth and a mirror. Inside the black and white container was cotton pads, Q-tips, disposable eye shadow brush and nail file. In the middle of the table, I bought cheap make-up palettes of lip colors, eye shadows and blush. Also in the middle of the table were hair tattoos (which the girls obsessed over), hair chalk colors, glitter body gel and body gems. The girls were so excited to beauty themselves up all by themselves. I did have my older daughter and friend over to help any of the girls apply the make up if needed.

The Thank you box was filled with a compact mirror, lip gloss and a little bottle of nail polish. All these items I got for a dollar. Thankfully it was around Christmas time, but I linked similar items below. The black and white striped paper bag was for the candy and to throw in anything else they took home. For the table center piece, Chloe and I made red candy apples and hung them on a little Christmas tree branch centerpiece to continue the red apple theme in the party.

Chloe and her friends had so much fun applying their own makeup and hair applications. After looking all pretty, they had a dance party with Descendants Just Dance and then watched the movie Descendants, of course. So much fun!!

Happy 7th Birthday Chloe!!

Unicorn Mask Invitation

Unicorn Mask Invitation: My little Chloe turned the big FIVE last month, but because of holiday jewelry orders and Christmas madness we usually celebrate her birthday after the holidays. Which means she has developed a complex of when her birthday really is! Sure, we have a little family birthday party for her on her real day. But she thinks her birthday doesn’t really happen until there are balloons, a cake, candles, presents and all her friends. So, she holds me to it to throw her a birthday party. And she won’t forget! I convinced her to have a unicorn birthday party this year because she just loves everything glittery and shimmery. She loves it. She’s even spent time online looking at Unicorns Rule to get ideas for decorations and gifts. Unicorns are just so magical at this age!

I’m excited because I teamed up with my girlfriend Melissa from Melissa’s Designs, who is a uber-talented graphic designer and former Carter’s baby head textile designer, to design unicorn mask invitation for Chloe’s party and to make available for Darling Darleen as a free printable. Sweet! How adorable and darling are these unicorn mask invitation?? So cute! The download is below. We passed out these invitations to Chloe’s preschool class and all the children loved them and practically wore their invitation home.

We kept the back of the unicorn mask invitation blank so you can add your text and party information in adobe reader (after you download, click “sign and fill” form, then use the text icon to add your information). Then once printed, punch holes on the side of the unicorn mask and tie with ribbon or baker’s twine so children can wear it as a mask. The unicorn mask invitation will fit in a 5×7 envelope. But if you are planning to mail it, you will need to fold down the horn part of the mask. Physical invitations are so fun and really set the stage of the birthday party.

Spa Party: The Party

I’m finally sharing with you Stella’s 7th birthday party that we celebrated last month. Honestly I was trying hard not to throw a birthday party for her this year. Being gone all the month of August, then jumping right into school and her birthday being only two weeks away–I just didn’t have the time or energy. I offered instead a day in the City at the American Girl Doll store, but she tearfully told me she really, really, REALLY wanted a birthday party. Yup, I think I’ve turned my children into birthday party monsters.

We decided to do a spa theme with a small group of girls–pedicures, manicures, facials. Sounds easy and I had most of the supplies on hand. After we decided on the theme, a few days later One Charming Party posted their Spa-aah Party ideas and printables so it was perfect! And it saved me a ton of time, not having to do much of anything except printing and gathering supplies. The girls loved it!

I hired two high school girls to come over and do the manicures and pedicures. And my girlfriend had one of those pedicure at-home spa baths and let me borrow it. The party guests rotated between pedicures, manicures and do-it-yourself facials. I turned on pandora’s top hits radio station, and those who had to wait were singing and dancing. They were all so cute and energetic!
