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!
Clever and Cute STEM Valentines
If you’re a science and STEM lover like I am, then you MUST get one of these valentines for your kids this year.
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.
Color-Reveal Science Valentines
These Valentines are so much fun. They are complete with a recipe for a chemical eruption that will reveal a secret hidden color once completed! And they look adorable.
LEGO Heart Engineering Valentines
If you have a bunch of extra LEGOs that you want to get rid of, these LEGO valentines are just what you need. They have plenty of fun building puns and kids also must figure out how to make the heart shape.
If your kids love slime, then you can’t go wrong with these slime pun Valentines. They are so much fun and you can just print them and go.
If your kids want to be a bit more involved in the Valentine-making process, these circuit valentines are a lot of fun! Copper tape, a light, and a battery complete this super fun STEM valentine.
Who doesn’t want some optical illusion STEM on Valentine’s Day? The best bonus to these Valentines is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on toys, all you need to complete these is some rubber bands.
…Printable STEM Valentines Continued
Not all of these valentines are free, but you can get a few of the cards for free. The coolest thing about these valentines is that they include science facts. If you’re a teacher who needs valentines for the class, these are awesome.
Gross the kids out just a bit with these bacteria-themed valentines. It’s a lot of fun to gross out little kids with the thought that bacteria is present on them all the time. And you can pick up a set of Petri dishes for just a few dollars!
Make a volcano this Valentine’s Day! These lava valentines are so cute and encourage the recipients to do more science, which we definitely love.
These glow stick valentines have fun light-themed puns that go along with them. And they are great if you want a valentine that doesn’t require the addition of candy.
