Stress Ball Squishy Heart Valentine Cards

I designed these cute “squeeze-themed” Valentine’s Day cards to go along with some of the cutest little Valentine’s toys I’ve ever seen – squishy heart stress balls!

Aren’t they adorable?! I wish you could feel just how spongy and squishy they are in person – my three kids went crazy over them!

I picked up a 36-pack of these squishy hearts on Amazon and it was SO cheap to buy more than enough for an entire classroom! You can also purchase a 24-pack from Oriental Trading if you don’t need quite as many hearts.

I printed out the valentine cards on to heavy cardstock and used a glue dot to adhere each squishy heart to the valentine card – easy peasy and super cute!

Not only are these stress ball squishy heart valentines adorable, they also have some pretty awesome health benefits!

Much like a fidget spinner, stress balls can help overactive children direct their energy in a more constructive manner than they might otherwise find. Once their hands are occupied, the child is able to focus more on what their parent or teacher is saying because they aren’t distracted by their need to fidget and move around.

Stress balls can also help to improve circulation. When you squeeze a stress ball, you are actually ‘pumping’ blood and oxygen around your body and to the necessary muscles thus improving circulation. Fun AND healthy – you can’t beat that!
