Free printable valentine zine PDF & tutorial!

If you’re looking for a wholesome family Valentine activity that everyone can work on, look no further! I designed these cute little one page zine as an activity with a group of middle-schoolers for Valentine’s Day and thought I’d share them! They require very little in the way of supplies, are simple to make, and fun to personalize. I pitched them as an easy way to make a valentine for their parents but the sky’s the limit!

I made my example for my friend and my daughter worked on one for her Grandma!

Here is a photo showing all the prompts inside.

Kids who don’t love drawing could write or collage in the blank spaces, too!

Step 4- Completely open up the page!

Step 6- Carefully cut through the middle until the next horizontal fold, as close to the fold line as you can get.

Step 7- Fold the page back in half, hot-dog style/vertically, with the blank sides facing together. The middle will naturally gape open!
