The only thing that could make this sealed Valentine’s note coloring page any more adorable is if you make it a two-part activity — shading in this page and then writing a Valentine’s note to send to a loved one. Did you know people tend to be attracted to people who look like them? A common feature includes ear lobe length. But here’s an even more informational factoid. Statistically, teachers get the most love (V-Day cards) on Valentine’s Day, which is most likley due of the millions of students who appreciate them. Next to educators, children, mothers, and wives, get the most cards. And speaking of cards, the tradition of card giving goes way back. In fact, Hallmark produced its first Valentine’s Day card in 1913.
4. Boy & Girl Holding Hearts

After your child finishes coloring on this page, we suggest having them do their best to recreate it using construction paper and other craft supplies. Then, they’ll have two “Be Mine” Valentines to hand out. (Relax, Mama… we’re sure you’ll be gifted one of them!) Fun Fact: Even Cupid had a lover. Her name was Psyche, and they both had a daughter named Voluptas.
8. Heart Box
In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, “Life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re going to get.” Share that quote with your kiddo, and then ask them to use the extra blank space on the page to draw the types of chocolates they hope they get this year. And Mama, if you happen to get a heart-shaped box of candy from your sugar plum, don’t throw out the box. Instead, turn it into a frame that holds a heart-shaped picture of you and your valentine.
9. Another Boy & Girl Holding Hearts
We’re not done with this theme yet — it’s making our hearts go pitter-patter! So, print out this girl and boy holding hearts and hand it to your little artist.
