Simple Allergy-Free Valentine's Day Cards

Let's face it, most of us do not have the time to take professional photos of our kids, make homemade crayons, or complete a 15-step card for school Valentine's. The ideas on Pinterest are wonderfully cute (I've even tried a few), but let's keep it stress-free this year. 

I received a letter from my son's kindergarten teacher requesting no candy or home-baked goods for Valentine's due to allergies. At first, I felt bad for the kids who could not enjoy a peanut butter cup or frosted cookie, but then I snapped out of it and realized I had to get creative and fast. 

While perusing Target, I came across a bag of 24 bubble sticks for only $3.00. Since there are only 24 kids in my son's class, I took this as a sign and completed my purchase. 

Spritz Bubble Sticks for $3.00 in the Valentine's aisle.  

I purchased the bag of "boy colors" but there are pinks and reds too.

I found some cute label templates on Avery's Design and Print Online website, printed a sheet, and stick them on the bubble sticks. 

Simple, yet cute labels.

I'm pleased with the end product and even more pleased with the fact that I only spent three bucks and 15 minutes creating these sweet, boy-approved, allergy-free Valentine's. 

Easy Peasy.

What do you do for Valentine's cards?  Do tell. 

Thanks for stopping by!
