Strolling through the Valentine section of a local store with my 9-year old son, I heard him groan, “I hate Valentine’s Day. It’s so ewwww.”
What followed was a very enlightening conversation. It wasn’t the chocolates and candies that he objected to; it was the mushy stuff. “I can’t stand all that lovey dovey stuff.”
I took his sentiments to heart and developed a boy-friendly Super Mario Valentine that’s easy to make and so fun to give!
Here’s how to put together your own little Valentine treat bags that won’t make boys go “ewww.” Plain and simple, too, for you minimalists out there.
Supplies for a Super Mario Valentine
Here’s what you’ll need:
the free valentines printable – there are three cards per page, so print off as many as you need, divided by three. Subscribe here to get access.
Valentine treats – I chose chocolates as well as the Mario-branded Funables. You might also look for other Super Mario-inspired candies, such as candy mushrooms or Runts with their varied fruit shapes
plastic bags – use bags big enough to hold the treats. Traditional snack bags are ideal since they aren’t super big. Since the fruit snacks were too large for snack bags, I sized up.
tools – You’ll also need scissors for cutting the cards and a stapler for attaching them to the bags.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Print out the cards and cut along the lines. Fold down the back third of each card. You can sign the back if you’d like.
- Divide the candy among your snack bags and seal them shut.
- Insert the top of the snack bag into the opening of the folded card. Staple the card to the bag.

Such a fun craft that my boys appreciated!
Thanks for sharing these. I like the simplicity, but I don’t tend to come up with ideas on my own. So, I appreciate you sharing your creative ideas for our benefit. I have four boys, so the boy friendly ones are great for us.
