The Icing on Your Catholic Cake
Last week, I posted some printable scripture Valentines that I’m really excited about! Today, I wanted to share a few more printable Valentines I designed. You know, Catholic Valentines. 
These are super colorful and fun– check them out!
These actually say “Saint Valentine” rather than plain “Happy Valentine’s Day”, so that makes me happy. And all the swirly colors make my 5 year old happy. 
These are totally free to download and print, so enjoy!

For a fun and easy Valentine’s day snack, you should try serving your kids some pink, strawberry milk! You can make this treat extra special by taking just a minute to rim your glass with sugar.
Rimming the glass with sugar is very easy to do. Take the same strawberry syrup you use to make your milk (we used the same stuff we did for our “Pentecost Sundaes“) and pour a little on a saucer. Turn your glass upside down, and dip the rim into the syrup. Then, put some regular ‘ol white sugar on another saucer, and twirl the rim of your glass in the sugar. Voila! How fancy is your glass?!
My kids were crazy for the sugar rimmed glasses! You’ll need to mix the strawberry milk in a separate pitcher and pour it into the glasses carefully so you don’t destroy your handy work.
We paired our St. Valentine strawberry milk with heart shaped cinnamon rolls. I make these every year! They’re very easy to put together (since I use cinnamon rolls from a can.)
Of course, heart shaped doilies make everything a little cuter, but they’re not necessary. My kids loved the sugared glass rims so much! Happy kids with little effort on my part = one happy mama!
A few years ago, we made some Valentines with scripture verses on them. Each of them had something to do with love, and also had a “punny” treat that went along with it. This year, I put together some printable valentines with the bible verses to make it easy for everyone to use them!
There are no watermarks on the ones you can download. I put them all on one sheet incase you want some variety with your valentines, but I also made full pages of each one incase you wanted them all to be the same (so you only need one kind of Valentine treat to go with them).
This one gets paired with Hershey’s Kisses.
This one gets paired with raisins
(a healthier alternative than most Valentines.)
Find a fruity candy (such as runts) to go with
this “Fruits of the Spirit” Valentine.
Pair this Valentine with some “Life” Savers.
This one goes with a small Almond “Joy” bar.
I like this one a lot– pair it with a fire ball!
(By the way, this one is a prayer, not a scripture verse.)
If you want to craft them yourself, you can do that too. I just though the printing option would make it a little easier on y’all.

I know it’s still January, but I wanted to share this early in case you’re already making St. Valentine’s Day plans. We’re going to be counting down the days to Saint Valentine’s day this year with a heart-shaped paper chain. Each piece of paper has a bible verse about love on it. So each day, you tear off one heart, read a bible verse, and you’re a little closer to St. Valentine’s day! The best part is, the countdown chain is printable and you can all download it for free!
This project was inspired by my friend Maureen’s Advent Chain. (I’ve actually been inspired by Maureen a lot lately. First the nativity sensory bin, then the scratch n’ sniff paint, and most recently the trinity snowmen!)
The free download for this is all in black and white, so it won’t eat your expensive ink- just print it on colored paper. You print the first bible verse page on red, and the second on pink. That way you can make a pattern when building the chain. Just print, and cut on the dotted lines. I love all the cute Valentine’s day fonts I used on these- so much fun!
Making the paper loops into hearts is super easy to do! Just fold the strips in half, curl the ends in, and staple together.
Keep alternating from red to pink until you have all 14 love bible verses attached- one for each day of February until St. Valentine’s day!
The download also includes a heart “topper” for your paper chain. I printed mine on some cute scrapbooking paper, cut it out with adorable scissors, and framed it with some red paper.
I love the cuteness factor that is added by cutting these hearts out with scrapbooking scissors!
There’s a little heart at the bottom of this page. Poke a small hole through your paper with a pin in this heart, and thread a pipe cleaner through it. You can use the pipe cleaner to attach your chain to the heart at the top.
I just absolutely love the look of the heart paper chain!
That’s it! Hang it up in your house. Remove one link for each day in February, and read the verse.
