We are so on the ball!
One kiddo is already done with their Valentines this year! They are so easy and adorable.
We shared multiple times that we love the idea of thinking outside the box for non-edible school treats for holidays and birthdays. This year for Valentine’s Day, we have a super easy one.
Also check out our Frog Valentines and Fish Valentines – so cute!
Airplane Valentines give kiddos a toy to put together and play with, and it’s a little outside the box.
We’ve done just about everything you can think of with pencils. Easy Valentine’s Day Pencils and these adorable Witch Broom Pencils for Halloween. We’ve been brainstorming with different ideas for party favors or kids toys to get a little more creative each year.
We got these airplanes just to share our honest opinion with the company, and ended up deciding to use them for our Airplane Valentines.
This is a great option for Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Easter, etc…
Update! Since the year we did these for our Valentines, they now make sets with the airplanes and the Valentines! So you can just buy a pack, making it even easier!
Airplane Valentines
There is nothing to these Airplane Valentines! So easy!
With some gliders, paper airplanes, or any airplane party favors you can put these together so easily before Valentine’s Day.
We have this set of Glider Planes, which comes with 6 designs and 24 planes. This is a great number for most class sizes.

Airplane Valentines Sayings
We have 5 cute little sayings for our Airplane Valentines. I made very simple airplane graphics and different fonts in PicMonkey.
If you would like to use our printable, you can find it here!
Large (5 per page) | Small (10 per page)
We find it easier to leave the gliders in their individual packages. It’s easier to bring to school and pass out. Plus, we can tape the sayings right to the bag with some adorable washi tape.
However, it does look really cute to tape the saying to the back of the plane like a sky writer.
For party favors, I would go this route.
See!?
They’re just way too easy!
Print it out, tape it on. Boom! The kids have a fun little Valentine without candy.
If you want to go even easier, here is a set of pre-made Valentines that come with pull-back airplanes!
Other Non-Candy Class Treat Ideas

These are really cute and I bet kids will love them. Extra bonus that they are candy free!!
Thank you! Candy-free is the way to go – the amount of candy they come home with is crazy!
Love it! I like having non candy options!
Same with us! It’s so much more creative and fun
These are so cool! I’m a huge fan of airplanes and would have loved this when I was younger (and would still love them now). Thanks for sharing.
We’ve been having so much fun flying them!
Those airplanes are super cute. A lot of public schools don’t let you bring food so that’s a great alternative.
So true. It’s definitely easier – and more fun – to just go the non-food route.
These are so fun, my son would love to hand these out to his class mates! Actually, my daughters would too! 🙂
I know! My daughter has been loving playing with the planes. I might have to order some for her class too.
I know a little boy that will love this idea! Thank you
Oh great! I thought they were pretty cute too! I’m thinking about making them for both kiddos – our Little Lady is loving the planes too
Would love to give these to my class. Love the idea of a non candy valentine.
Thank you, Beth! They were such a hit last year that both kids are doing airplanes this year. Your class will love them!
