   Hearts are the universal symbol for Valentine’s Day, and you can easily incorporate the simple design into your classroom Valentine’s Day party decor with stuffed felt hearts. Hand stitch them with extra embroidery floss to turn them into ornaments, or gather them in baskets to create adorable displays. 

4. Paper Airplane Garland

   Paper airplanes can bring quite the nostalgia for childhood, and stringing them together into a garland has almost a vintage feel to it. Make one long paper airplane garland, or make a bunch of smaller ones to decorate different areas of the room!

10. Treat Boxes and Printable Valentines

    If you are an elementary school teacher, we’re sure you are expecting that the kids will be passing papercut valentines around to one another throughout the day. If you want to get in on the Valentine’s Day fun, you can also prepare your own valentines for your students! We love cupcake treat boxes for handing goodies out to students, but any of our printable valentines are adorable options. 

11. Valentine Mailboxes

    At the end of the day, your students will end up with tons of valentines from classmates to bring home.

That way, they can stick all their paper goods inside one easy carrying case. Plus, the mailboxes can be valentines themselves! 

12. Tissue and Glitter Heart Art
