Valentine’s Day is just around the corner…

…which means your preschooler’s Valentine’s Day party is just around the corner, too.

Don’t let those words send you into a panicked Pinterest-scrolling frenzy because I’ve compiled 12 of the cutest DIY preschool valentines that the internet has to offer. They range from thoughtful-yet-simple to intricate-and-impressive, but every single one includes a FREE printable.
