+1 someone actually establishes a level of 'respect' for another based on the type of candy their child brings to school in valentine's day? All time DCUM low.


I don't respect them for putting in crappy candy that violates the school rules. I'd object to boxes of Belgian chocolates too.

Lollipops, gummy bears, Fundips, those little candy hearts - basically nothing with chocolate/nuts.

Or non-candy items.

My oldeset is pre K. I found a fishbowl template to which I added <kid name> I'm glad we're in the same school. I plan to attach a small bag of gold fish and be done with it.

We generally just do a card - this year I think we will make heart shaped cookies as well.

I usually attach a cool pencil. Everyone can use a new pencil.

I never did anything but cards..despite the other parents. The parties usually had tons of sweets before even opening the cards. If I were to do it however I would look for the cards that come with the candy and are designed to attach candy to make it easier.

It's not necessary. And as PP has said you can get other things. They have these bulk packs of mini-Play-doh you can get.

I have a kindergartener, and I'm not planning to send in anything but cards.

You don't have to do anything, really!

Some non-candy ideas (yes, I know you didn't ask, but they get too much candy as it is!)

Glow stick bracelet (15/$1 at the dollar store usually)
Balloon
Temporary tattoos
Stickers
Pencils
Crayons

Super stupid question, I know. But my child is non-verbal and also not good at making selections on the spot at the supermarket. Last year in Kindergarten, we just sent in the valentines and she came home with a ton of candy from other kids and I felt bad that she didn't attach any candy. This year I would like to have candy for her valentines and am wondering what candy First Graders and other young elementary kids like the best?

Thanks for your suggestions.
