Classroom valentines: pun cards, candy attach and friend cards

Classroom valentines are the small cards a child signs and hands to every classmate on Valentine's Day. Each picture is one printable sheet of mini cards with blank To and From lines, ready to cut apart. The three designs are a dinosaur pun, a lollipop card and a friend card with a different animal on each. Each comes in a bright cartoon, a soft watercolor or a plain color-in outline. Type a theme, such as space, and the cards redraw.

Frequently asked questions

How many cards are on one sheet?

Eight mini cards on the pun and friend sheets, six on the candy sheet.

Are the To and From lines filled in?

No. Each card has blank lines, so the child writes the names by hand.

What does the candy card do?

It has a marked circle where a lollipop is pushed through the card.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Bright cartoon has thick rounded outlines and flat fills. Soft watercolor has a wash over loose pencil, and color-in outline is a simple black line a child can color.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
