These MadLib Valentines are ideal for 3rd, 4th or 5th graders. They make a great little gift for both girls and boys, plus they’re candy-free, and not too lovely-dovey. And they look cool!
To make these MadLib Valentines, we trimmed out a stack of MadLib sheets with an exacto knife. (We buy our MadLibs in 2-packs of 6×9 sheets.) Then we trimmed spare pieces of origami paper and craft paper to make 3″ x 6″ strips. Any text weight paper would work for this.
We rolled up a MadLib sheet, then rolled that roll in a strip of decorative paper.
We used craft floss to wrap the roll (10 times around is about right) and tied a shoe lace knot.
We printed out a sheet of messages that said “I’m mad about you,” “I can’t lib without you” and “You have mad skillz.” Then we trimmed them out, hole-punched them, and attached them to an open end of the shoe lace knot.
Our kids were very pleased with how the MadLib Valentines turned out. And I loved how all the patterns and colors looked piled on the table.

Thank you, this is a great idea! It is sweet and easy to do!
In my multilingual school, it may even help non English speakers have fun learning new nouns/verbs/adjective! I will totally steal the idea for when we celebrate the European Day of languages (September 26)!
I also like very much the Shrinky Dink Valentine from a previous post (Jan 25 2017, from the link at the end of this post). Unfortunately the link to the super cute free printable does not work anymore… Would you be so kind to share it again? Thank you so much!
