Free Dinosaur Valentines Printable Cards

February is right around the corner and if you’re looking for some fun, frugal DIY Valentine’s Day ideas , we have a cute free printable for a Dinosaur Valentine Card. Just head to the Dollar store to pick up some inexpensive dinosaurs to add to the free Dinosaur Valentines printable and it makes for a clever Valentine for your child to pass out at school or at a Valentine party with little work by you.

I love easy but fun Valentine’s and anything that is candy-free is always a great option for Valentine’s too. I know there are many parents who wish their kiddos did not so many sweets in one day, and these are a wonderful way to let your child have something to participate with that won’t add any additional sugar to the mix.

If you have a dinosaur fan in your house, they will love giving this one out at school. Things can get a little pink this time of the year, so it is fun to balance it out with the colors of dinos too!

Free Dinosaur Valentines Cards

Here is how you can make these simple cards with a few supplies, and just a little bit of time. Parents will appreciate a non candy item with all the of the sweets handed out on Valentines day too, I bet. You could have all the supplies ready, and have your kids make the cards – they are that simple.

Materials:

There are only a few materials needed for this project, and you might have most of them on hand already. Grab some dinosaurs at the Dollar store, use our free printable cards, and you have most of what you need to put them together.

Instructions:

Here is how to make these simple cards.

Print off your Dino-Mite Valentine Cards, from our free dinosaur printable here.
Use scissors to cut along the outer edge of the colored square border on each valentine.
Place a dab of hot glue on the section of the dinosaur that will touching the paper and press it down. Allow it to dry for a few minutes. (The hot glue will peel off and not damage the dinosaur). This will help secure the dinosaur in place, making it easy to tie the string over.

Punch a hole through the paper above and below the dinosaur. This is where you will thread the string through to tie around the dinosaurs.

Run a string through the holes in the paper and tie a bow in the front. We love to coordinate the string colors with the dinosaur and paper covers, but you can use any kind of twine type string, or even a thin ribbon to thread through the holes and tie a bow.

That is it, now they are ready to hand out at a school party, or to friends in the neighborhood, or where ever you want.
