Stackable Crayons

Stackable crayons are one of my favorite Valentine gifts for students!

Trust me… the kiddos love them! I grabbed these particular stackable crayons from the party favor section at Target.

   
They were extremely affordable at only $3 for a pack of 10. I can’t always promise that Target will continue to stock them at that price, so I will share a few stackable crayon options from Amazon.

Stackable Pencils

Of course, if you have stackable crayons, you have to have stackable pencils!

These mini heart stackable pencils are cost-friendly and just the “write” size for your little learners!

Push pencils also make practical Valentine gifts for students!

      
I found the stackable heart pencils at Michaels and the push pencils in the Valentine section at Target, but here are a few Valentine pencil options from Amazon.

Slap Bracelets

Slap bracelets are another classic gift idea that never seems to go out of fashion!

You could even give plain colored bracelets that can be worn year round.

I can remember having a neon pink slap bracelet that provided hours of “slappable” fun when I was a kid, so I am quite certain your students will have a “slappin” great time with this Valentine gift idea.

   
Slide the slap bracelet through the gift tag to wish your students a “SLAPPY Valentine’s Day!”

Glow Bracelets

Show your students the love with a simple glow bracelet… by far the most cost effective Valentine gifts for students!
