A fun list of non-candy options! Feeling inspired to share a list of non-candy Valentine’s options from Valentine’s Parties of the past. For now, we will share below from our parent company, the Local Moms Network.
Whether your school doesn’t allow candy or you’re just trying to give fellow parents a break from policing party treats, we love a good non-candy valentine’s option. Below, we’ve rounded up 10 for kids of all ages that aren’t candy. Order them early to be sure they’re here in plenty of time.
