I don’t know about you, but I get a little obsessive when I like something. And of course, at STEAMsational, Valentine STEM activities are our jam. But I need more than just salt crystal hearts to satisfy my STEM cravings at Valentine’s Day. So enter STEM valentines.
All of these STEM Valentines are appropriate for the elementary classroom, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally sending your kids to school with a chemistry pun that you didn’t realize was dirty. Not that I’ve done that or anything. :-D
So, if you’re kid is obsessed with science, or you’re just really tired of boring and overpriced store-bought valentines, then these STEM valentines are for you!

Nothing is better than these super-clever and educational valentines. It definitely beats the JoJo Siwa valentines that your child will most likely get 10 copies of this year.
Chemistry Valentine’s Day Pun Valentines
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a good pun (for me anyway). And these are chemistry puns, so even better.
