🖨 Step 1: Download & Personalize Your Valentine Template
Start by purchasing and downloading the Kit Kat Valentine Template from my Etsy shop.
Once downloaded:
👉 Kitty Kat Valentine Download
- Open the template in Canva
- Personalize with your child’s name (and class info if needed)

Mom Tip: I always print one test page first to make sure sizing is perfect.
✂️ Step 2: Cut Out the Valentine Cards
After printing:
- Use scissors for easy cutting
OR - Use a paper trimmer for clean, professional edges
If your template includes candy holder slots, carefully cut those as well.
🍫 Step 3: Attach the Kit Kat Candy
This is the fun part kids LOVE helping with!
You can attach the candy using:
✔ Glue dots (my personal favorite because they hold strong and dry instantly)
✔ Regular craft glue (just allow drying time)
Simply place the candy onto the designated area on the card and secure it in place.
👧 Step 4: Let Your Kids Help!
My kids always get excited helping assemble their classroom Valentines. It makes them feel proud handing them out to their friends.
You can have them:
• Help glue candies
• Count cards for classmates
• Write their names
It turns into a fun family activity and builds excitement for Valentine’s Day.
