Why Choose Valentine Tic-Tac-Toe?
Valentine Tic-Tac-Toe isn’t just cute; it’s a game! It gives kids something interactive to do instead of just collecting cards and candy. Plus, the panda design adds an extra level of charm, making this Valentine stand out from the crowd. Parents and teachers will love that it’s not only fun but also super easy to put together.
10 Valentine-themed candies per bag (think conversation hearts, red and pink M&Ms, or heart-shaped gummies)
Stickers or tape to seal the bags
How to Assemble:
Download and Print: Grab our free Valentine Tic-Tac-Toe printable and print it onto cardstock. The sturdy paper ensures your cards look polished and hold up during gameplay.
Cut It Out: Use scissors to cut along the dotted lines. Each sheet makes multiple cards, so you’ll have plenty to share!
Bag It Up: Place one tic-tac-toe card and 10 candies into each cellophane bag. The candies double as game pieces, so choose two different colors or types for easy play.
Seal the Deal: Fold over the top of the bag and secure it with a cute Valentine’s Day sticker or tape. Bonus points if the sticker matches the panda theme!
Share the Love: Hand them out to classmates, friends, or neighbors and watch the smiles roll in.

Download the Bluey birthday party printables here
*Click on the picture to download the file*
Bluey Birthday Party Banner- Download, print on cardstock, punch a hole in the top two corners, and hang the banner up with string or ribbon.
Bluey party hats- Download, print on cardstock, and cut out. Then, wrap the design into a cone with about 1/2 to 1 inch overlap. Secure with tape or glue (I usually use hot glue)
To add a strap, you can punch holes on either side to tie a stretchy string to, glue or staple a couple thin ribbons to tie under the chin, use tape with stretchy string… whatever works best for you.
Water Bottle Labels- Download, print on lightweight cardstock or full sheets of sticker paper (I like this sticker paper the best). Then, cut out the design and wrap it around a water bottle. Sticker paper is easiest and sticks directly to the bottle, but you can also secure cardstock with tape or glue.
Food Labels/Table Tents- Download, print on heavyweight cardstock, cut out, then fold in half to stand them up.
Straw Flags- Download this fun Bluey birthday party printable, print on lightweight cardstock or sticker paper, cut out, and wrap around your straw. If using cardstock, secure with glue or tape.
Bluey Thank You Tags- Download, print on heavyweight cardstock, cut out, punch a hole in the center at the top, and attach with string or ribbon. This design looks cute both with and without the top corners cut so do it whichever way you like best!
Bluey Cupcake Toppers- Download, print on heavyweight cardstock, cut out (or use a 2.5″ hole punch to make it quick and easy), then attach a toothpick to the back with tape or glue. You can easily make these double sided with one circle on each side of the toothpick!
Rita’s Beans (Jelly bean bags)- Download the Bluey birthday party printable, then print on regular copy paper or glossy brochure paper for a more professional look. Cut out.
Use double sided tape or hot glue along the bottom edge and one side (make sure you apply it to the back side of the paper, not the printed side). If you use tape, add it to the top edge as well.
Fold the paper where the blue part of the design is the front and the light orange faces the back. The side flap with the glue or tape gets folded second so that it secures the two back sides together. This creates a pocket with the bottom closed.
Add your jelly beans. Seal the top closed. Finally, for an added professional look, use a paper crimper and pinking shears on the top and bottom edges.

This is the one you want for a boy!

And when you throw Lego Super Heroes into the mix, things get even more awesome! I took inspiration from the geniuses at Powerful Mothering and tweaked their fantastic party hat template to make way for the beloved Lego Avengers.
The centerpieces were a blast of creativity, with Lego Avengers popping out to say hello.
Thanks to some ingenious printables and a generous sprinkle of imagination (and Legos 😜), these centerpieces turned into a Marvel-filled play zone.
It was fun to see the Lego bricks on “spring” pipe cleaners bouncing in the wind! It added a touch of whimsy that had the kids giggling in delight.
The Lego brick napkins were an instant hit, adding a touch of flair to the table settings while keeping our young heroes squeaky clean.
…kinda
Not only did they serve their practical purpose, but they also added a burst of color that tied everything together in the most delightful way.
Fueling Avengers Super Hero Appetites
Our treat table was a spectacular sight to behold, brimming with goodies that would put a smile on even Tony Stark’s face!
I made the cake, cupcakes, and cake toppers for this awesome party. I don’t consider myself a fabulous cake decorator, but the kids thought the cake was awesome so I call it a win 😉
The cupcakes were topped with Lego Avengers (free printable link down below!), and chocolate-covered Oreos bore the iconic Avengers logo. I used a stencil made with my Cricut machine, cardstock paper, and edible color spay to decorate the Oreos.
But that’s not all!

Who could resist the temptation of Thor’s hammer “Mjolnir” chocolate-covered marshmallows and pretzels (made with dairy free dark chocolate and edible silver sparkle dust– I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!), or the dazzling Ring Pop “Infinity Stones”?
My treat bags were filled with Skittles and Starbursts for instant energy boosts, while juice boxes took on the form of Lego bricks – a perfect fit for our Lego Super Heroes.
Not to mention the water bottles adorned with printable building brick wraps and the candied popcorn housed in a charming printable building brick container, complete with a heartfelt “Thank You” tag.
Additionally, chocolate covered pretzels and fig bars completed the delicious looking treat table.
Our goodies were made half-dairy free to accommodate half of our party guests 🙂
The treat table was a marvel in itself, setting the stage for a delectable adventure.
Lego Super-Powered Tokens of Appreciation
Our heroes deserved only the best when it came to party favors!
Each guest received personalized coloring books. These allowed them to unleash their artistic powers, along with Lego Avenger crayon boxes (yes, it’s a free printable!).
Our party favors were a reminder that every participant was a true Lego Super Hero!
Unmasking the Mischief-Makers
The heart-pounding Lego Avengers Villain Scavenger Hunt had everyone channeling their inner detective at the party. Along the nature walking trail of the park, Popsicle-stick-mounted villains awaited discovery.
It was a challenge to spot these mischievous characters and save the day! This free printable game (link down below) added a touch of excitement, turning our outdoor adventure into a thrilling mission
Smashing Fun for All Ages
What’s a party without a pinata? Our Lego-themed pinata added a dynamic touch to the celebration.
With cheers and laughter, our young Super Heroes took turns wielding their power to bring the pinata down. Doing so revealed a trove of treats that rivaled Tony Stark’s inventions!
Conclusion
Our Lego Super Hero-themed party was an unforgettable adventure that combined the creativity of Lego with the excitement of Avengers. From the treat table laden with Avengers-themed goodies to the party favors that celebrated each guest’s unique superpower, our celebration captured the essence of what it means to be a Super Hero.

Outdoor Home Decorations that Sparkled!
When the guests pulled up they were greeted with the sight of American pride!
Red, white, and blue tassels wrapped around the top of the house, a table was set with fun and festive party favors, and the front door was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
Before stepping into the party, guests were greeted by a charming table by the front door, laden with delightful party favors.
From bubble wands, glow sticks, and American flag slap bracelets to sparklers and poppies, everyone was immediately excited to get the party started.
You can use some of these products for your own parties!
The anticipation was growing, and the guests (especially the kids) eagerly grabbed their favors, ready to dive into the patriotic festivities.
4th of July Party – Outdoor decor
As guests ventured into the outdoor party area, their eyes were treated to a visual feast.
The party tables were tastefully dressed in red, white, and blue to match the rest of the festive party decorations.
From beautiful flower arrangements to red tin pails with candles inside, these beautiful creations added a touch of softness to the patriotic ambiance.
The tantalizing aroma of grilled goodness filled the air, drawing everyone to the glorious BBQ buffet. From marinated beef and veggie kabobs to lightly charred hotdogs, the spread catered to both kids and adults.
A variety of homemade sides, from creamy potato salad to zesty pasta salad to deviled eggs, complemented the smoky flavors.
And let’s not forget the fruit cups and salad bar! The crisp veggies and juicy fruits were perfect for a warm Summer night.
Exciting Kid’s Entertainment
What’s a 4th of July party without bubbles? We added an extra dose of magic with bubble wands and a bubble machine that created a stream of iridescent bubbles floating through the air for the little ones. Kids of all ages chased and popped them with pure delight.
I also whipped up a homemade painted can bean bag toss that was an absolute hit with the kids.
Using recycled cans and a dash of creativity, the cans were transformed into dazzling red, white, and blue targets. Bean bags were made with some scraps of patriotic fabrics that fit perfectly with the rest of the party theme.
We also set up a kid’s table where there were colored pencils and markers placed in the red tin pails and 4th of July coloring pages set out for them to do.
The Sweetest Slice of Freedom
As soon as guests entered the house after dinner, they saw the dessert table.
The array of tantalizing treats were framed by a beautifully decorated tissue paper backdrop and a vibrant balloon garland that transported everyone into a world of pure patriotic bliss. It was truly a sight to behold, and mouths watered in anticipation.
Two kinds of popcorn were made and packaged in adorable patriotic bags to give the guests something to munch on while watching fireworks. One was regular salted popcorn, but the other was candied popcorn colored red and blue.
There were also cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, jello, whoopie pies, and an ice cream cookie cake to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth after the meal.
The Grand Finale: Fireworks & Festivity!
No 4th of July celebration would be complete without fireworks. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky was set ablaze with a mesmerizing display of colorful explosions.
Cheers and laughter filled the air as children lit sparklers, and small fireworks. Friends and family marveled at the stunning spectacle filling the sky. It was a fitting grand finale to a party that oozed patriotism, joy, and community spirit.
So, next time you’re planning a patriotic shindig, don’t forget to channel your inner party planner and unleash your creativity. Let your imagination soar, adorn your party with stars and stripes, and celebrate the land of the free in style!
Happy 4th of July!
