How To Make a Squishy Valentine Printable
Step 1: Download the Gift Tags:
- Grab the free “Hugs & Squishes” gift tags. Print our free gift tags on cardstock for a sturdier feel or regular copy paper works well too.
- Cut Out the Tags: Use scissors or a paper cutter to neatly trim each tag.
Step 2: Bag the Squishies
- Bag the Squishies: Place one or two squishy toys in each clear treat bag.
- Attach the Tags: Punch a hole in the corner of each tag. Thread a piece of string or ribbon through the hole and tie it around the top of the bag.
- Alternative Option: Our squishies came pre-packed. If that’s how your squishies come you can also just staple your printable to the bag.
These valentines are budget-friendly, fun to make, and a hit with kids of all ages. The squishy toys are irresistible (and a stress-relieving bonus!), and the colorful tags add a cheerful Valentine’s Day vibe. They’re also a great non-candy option for parents who prefer alternative treats.
