Choose the colored version or the black and white to create your own Valentines!
I love all things matchy matchy and punny. This free alligator printable can be used in so many fun ways. Attach it to a themed gift. Pair it with a sweet treat or little gifty. Color the outline version as a party activity or in the classroom. Whatever you do with it, have some fun spreading Valentines Day love.
Free Printable
Download the printable and cut it apart. It is designed to cut down the middle of a regular piece of paper or card stock both vertically and horizontally. Easy Peasy! Once cut apart, each Valentine will measure the perfect size to fit in a standard A2 envelope.
Even better, punch a hole and tie it to a matching themed gift like this awesome puzzle from my friends over at MaddCapp! They make fantastic puzzles in the shapes of REAL animals. Don’t be fooled by the 100 pieces. It is HARD. I built the shark and it took me forever.

Best Ways to Use Free Printables
You might have seen this list from me before but I think it is worth sharing over and over. Sometimes the people in the back need to hear things a few times, right? There are so many great ways to use free printables. Here are some of my favorites.
- Print them and mail in an envelope with a stamp. Snail mail rocks.
- Batch some up to make an activity book. This is great for a road trip!
- Print and use at a place setting on the table to create a conversation starter.
- Add them to goody bags. By the way, goody bags are not just for birthday parties.
- Package them up with your favorite markers and crayons to give as a gift.
- Drop a few off at the local coffee shop with fun pencils to spread some happy.
- Cut them up to make cards, gift wrap and decorations.

These are my favorite tools and art supplies to use with free printables and why I love them too.
