Even if a kid is giving classroom valentines to everyone, they want to give an extra-special one to their bestie! The right kid-to-kid valentine messages—like one of these below—can say “You’re my best friend ever!” in the coolest way.

  • No one gets me like you do!

Kids valentine messages for teachers

Every kid wants the classroom valentine they give to their teacher to be one that’s cherished and remembered. In addition to giving a wish for the day, it’s the perfect way to say, “Thanks for teaching me and caring about me.” Here are some idea starters.

  • Thanks for all the good things you do for us in class every day!

  • You deserve a day off, but all I can give you is candy! Close second, right?
  • You’re a lesson in being a great person.
  • Go to the head of the class! Oh, wait…you already did!

Helping a kid who’s home-schooled thank their parent-teacher? Here are a few more ideas!

  • When your mom/dad is your teacher, you’re doubly lucky!
  • Candy for my teacher! (Don’t eat it before dinner.)
  • You’re my mom/dad AND my teacher! You only get one valentine, though.

Kids valentine messages for siblings

Sure, we tease our brothers and sisters, but every child knows deep inside that there will never be a closer friend. So whether their valentine message for a sibling is gentle humor or sincere emotion, kids want the message to be special. Here are some options:

  • So sorry for being Mom’s favorite. (Dad’s, too.)
  • I love you, but I’m still not sharing my Valentine’s Day candy.
  • (With a funny card) But no joke, you’re kinda the best!
  • You turn everything into an adventure.
  • Glad we get to share life together.
  • Life’s more fun when you’re nearby.
  • Love you even when you kinda annoy the crap outta me.
  • Happy Valentine’s Day! Let the candy trading begin!
  • You make “family” one of my favorite words.
  • HVD to my partner in (totally legal) crime.
  • Nobody knows me quite like you do.
  • Thanks for always having my back. (But you can’t have my candy.)

Kids valentine messages for mom or dad

Odds are a kid’s mom or dad was the first one they ever wanted to send a valentine to. On a day that’s all about celebrating love, it’s important to celebrate the ones who taught us about unconditional love in the first place. Try a message like one of these.

  • Lucky to be raised by you guys.
  • I’m so happy you’re my mom and dad.
  • You guys are just the best.
  • Congratulations on your perfect kid.
  • Valentine’s Day = chocolates for dinner. Right?
  • How cool is it that my two favorite people happen to be my parents? Love you guys!
  • I love how you feed me and keep me safe.
  • It’s a good night for a heart-shaped pizza.
  • Happy Valentine’s Day! What’s for dessert?
  • Want me to read you a Valentine’s Day story tonight?
  • Just so you know, I’m never too old for candy.
  • Love you the mostest, because you’re the bestest!
  • Glad Cupid brought you two together.
  • Glad Cupid shot you two. (Hope it wasn’t in the butt.)

Kids valentine messages for grandparents

Poppop, Geegee, Gram, Gramps, Da, Mimi…so many names for two of the most important people in a kid’s life. Personalize that valentine with whatever name you use and one of these Valentine’s Day messages for kids.

  • Time with you is always the best time.

For someone special

In addition to family and friends, there are so many other important people in the life of a child. Babysitters, doctors, bus drivers, neighbors, mentors…all of them deserve a personal valentine message from their favorite kid. Like maybe one of these:

  • Thanks for taking such good care of me!
