DIY Crayon Classroom Valentines with Cricut

These non-candy Valentines are sweet to give this Valentine’s Day! Make them for your own kiddos or create these DIY Crayon Classroom Valentines with Cricut for your child’s class. This post contains affiliate links. 

A few years ago, one of my most popular posts was on Non-Candy Valentines for Kids. With all of the candy that kids get for Valentine’s Day, a non-candy idea is always appreciated by parents (at least, I know that it is by me!). While searching for something on Cricut Design Space a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon these DIY Crayon Classroom Valentines in the Make It Now section. These valentines are ready to cut and are non-candy. If you have Cricut Access, they are no additional cost!

Do you ever wonder if you would use Cricut Access regularly? Read my article to see my thoughts on the subscription!

I already had all of the supplies to create these at home.

Supplies needed:

  • White card stock
  • Cricut Pen
  • Cricut Explore Air or Cricut Explore Air 2
  • Cricut Standard Grip Cutting Mat
  • Crayons

Head to the Valentine Coloring Card Make It Now project on Cricut Design Space. ****Edit- Some users have reported that they are not able to access the project through the link. If you cannot find the project through the link, head to Cricut Design Space and type in “coloring cards” in the project search box. ***

Click “Make It Now” on the bottom right corner. The project cut page will open. Cut as many cards as you need for your children or your child’s class.

Lift up the crayon tabs and insert two crayons per card.

The crayons stay well inside the tabs. I wondered initially if they would fall out easily, but the way that the tabs fold up keep them inside the slots. The holes are made for standard size crayons. The larger crayons may fit, but it would be tight.

There are three animal designs- a whale, a dinosaur, and an owl. They are each so cute!

    I can’t find this wonderful Valentine card either. Please help me get the instructions. I promised my daughter-in-law I would make them and I’m having trouble. Thanks in advance.

        Hi, try going into Cricut Design Space, clicking on Projects, and search “coloring cards.” I’m not sure why the direct link to it isn’t working.

    I’m making these cards for my little boys class. What size do they need to be?

      Hi, are you using this exact project file in Cricut Design Space? If so, the specs for the card are already set. If you are making some from scratch, the card size is 4″ by 6″

    I did it straight from the project on design space and when it came up it said I needed a 12×24 mat and there were huge letters stacked on top of each other and no writing on the card?

      That’s odd! I would totally log out of Design Space and then log back in and try again. It sounds like a system glitch.

      Of the cards? Not right off hand. Approximately 4″ by 5″. Once you log into Design Space and click “customize” it will give the exact dimensions.

    I just purchased these, and had the same problem as some commenters. There are giant letters on the bottom. As this was pricey, how can it be fixed?

    Solution found! It MUST be done from a laptop or desktop, not a phone or tablet!

      Ah, thanks for sharing! I only use a laptop, so I never know if there are issues with mobile.
