Loom Band Valentine Printables
If you’re the mama of a school age kid, you’ll have seen their wrists and backpacks decked out in Loom Bands! I happen to have a 10, 9 and 7 year old who are LOOM FREAKS! My awesome sister in law Kristin brought the bands to our family Thanksgiving trip and it kept them busy for H O U R S. I thought surely my daughter would be the only fan but my two boys (the 9 and 7 year old) were fish-tailing bracelets without the loom by the end of the weekend. My nearly 11 year old is now selling her creations and doesn’t use the loom much since she’s becoming a pro. Plus, it helps with their fine motor skills so that’s a huge bonus. I thought it’d be fun to make some Loom Band Valentine Printables since my daughter made one for each kiddo in her class for Valentine’s Day next month. She’s so excited to hand them out to her schoolmates.
She made hearts for the girls and bracelets for the boys.
When she made the hearts, I told her they’d be great Valentines for school friends which sparked me making printables. She immediately started making the hearts in different colors. Her pals can loop a key ring through them and they become charms to attach to their backpacks. Adorable! {{{Link to make heart looms!}}}
Purple: I just tied it with bakers twine a bunch of times with a knot in the back.
White: I hole-punched a hole through the bottom of the card (under “for you”) then taped bakers twine onto the back, looped both ends through the front and tied it to a corner of the heart.
Pink: I tied the bakers twine around a few times with a knot + bow in the front.
And for the boys, just wrap a bracelet around the bottom of the card.
So fun, huh?? My kids (girl, boy, boy) are each SO excited to give them out to their friends!!

My six year old loves them too after being introduced to them by his older cousin… unfortunately the fine motor are still developing and he needs a fair bit of assistance (read: I often have to make most of the bracelet). But I bet he would love to give them out as Valentines to his class- thanks for the amazing idea!! Pinning:)
I love you girls! Yours turned out so cute! Thanks for linking to mine too! Love ya guys!
Great minds think alike (;
So I don’t have school age kids at my house but I may just have to go out and buy one of these looms for myself! Looks like so much fun and your printable is darling!
