Free Printable Dump Truck Valentine!

My son’s love for trucks is long documented on the blog – last year I used this same design to make an appliqued t-shirt for him! He has been asking to host a party recently and I thought Valentine’s Day would be a perfect excuse. I know that he will enjoy handing out valentines to his little buddies but I wanted him to have fun making them too – so I created this dump truck valentine he could color. I added some candy “wheels” for fun – I figured with them being naturally flavored and colored, and nut free, it was a safe bet!

The candies I used were Sunkist Fruit gems* – they are one of my favorites. $17 for 2 lbs of candy will cover a whole classroom and then some. I absolutely love these things – I ordered a bag and embarrassingly ate them all before I got around to taking pictures, so I had to order another one. I just used a bit of tape to attach them, it was easy.

He asks us to draw cement mixers and dump trucks all day long, so it didn’t take much prompting for him to get coloring. It was perfect- it kept him busy for half an hour and took me maybe ten minutes between printing & taping.

I know some valentine’s collection boxes are designed for smaller cards – so I figured they would be easy to fold in half vertically! He can’t wait to hand them all out, although I am going to have a hard time keeping him from plucking all the candy off.
