It’s not just a valentine. It’s a puppet! It’s a plane! It’s a lollipop holder! Handing out valentines at school is a lot more fun when your valentine does something nobody else’s does. We had just one thought in mind when designing Pear Tree’s Valentine’s Day collection this year—what would kids love to get their hands on?

A card that holds a treat seems to solve two problems at once: whether to hand out a card or a treat, and how to attach your card to the candy if you want to hand out both. Our Love and Lips Candy Valentines and Stylish Mustache Valentines have a little hole punched through them, so kids can insert a lollipop. The cards are personalized with their name, so there’s no need to sign each one. Perfect for parents, too!

Kids will also love the Up and Away Airplane Valentines Day Cards, which they can either fold before handing out, or let their friends do the honors. They’ll have fun watching, as their valentines take flight.

Even more fun is the Kids Frog Finger Puppet. Kids can put their fingers through the holes to act as the frog’s legs and make it leap around. Other finger puppet valentines include an elephant, bunny and caterpillar. Just wait till you see our interactive kids’ valentine card ideas for 2012—we think they are some of our best valentines yet!
