Since Ruby's school doesn't allow candy for Valentine's Day exchanges, I'm always thinking about other fun things we can make and give to her friends instead. And…since we always have a ton of Band-Aids lying around (and kids love Band-Aids), we came up with a couple fun Valentines inspired by everyone's favorite boo-boo cover/body sticker.
If you feel like gifting a whole box of Band-Aids, here's a punny wrap we designed that you can download right here. Simply print them on regular paper, cut it out, and use it to wrap around a standard size box of Band-Aids.
Add your greeting to the back, and boom! A valentine that also comes in handy for adventures throughout the year.
Or, if you don't want to give out a whole box of Band-Aids, you can use them as a decorative element for your love bugs, instead. Oh Joy Band-Aids worked perfectly to create fun little patterned bug bodies for these Valentine's Day postcards. Download our template here, print them on card stock, then cut out. Finally, add a Band-Aid to make the body of the bug!

How adorable is this idea. Love the lug-bug cards, they are super cute and i wouldn’t mind giving these to my loved ones 🙂 Very creative Joy and such a fun idea for the kids.
I originally read that as “I’m stuck with you” which is a funny, but very different kind of Valentine! Haha.
These are so cute! I love them! Thanks for the printables!

How adorable! I want to do this for my co-workers!
Such a great idea! and yes. I will be your love bug. xoxo
What a sweet Valentines idea, especially for kids! Rather than handing them candy, these would be fun and useful.
Love the packaging (per usual) 🙂
