One of the reasons I love Valentines Day is simply for the abundance of cheesy puns. This cheesy pun is the cheesiest of all since we’re talking about cheddar goldfish crackers. If you’re looking for a sweet treat for Valentines Day you could easily swap Goldfish for Swedish Fish. If you’re on the hunt for more cheesy Valentine goodness, check out this list of 100 Valentine sayings paired with free pritnables.
Here’s what you need to make Goldfish Valentines
- Gold fish snack bags
- Valentine printable
- Scissors
- Stapler
- White card stock
- Color printer
- Raffia, ribbon scraps, bakers twine
How to make Gold Fish Valentines
Step 1- Download the free printable Valentine
To download the “I’m so glad we are in the same school” Goldfish Valentine, enter your name and email address below and the free file will be delivered to your inbox! The Goldfish Valentines come 4 to a page.
Step 2- Print & Fill out
Next, print out the Valentines, and cut around each rectangle. You’ll need to decide if you are making the small zip lock bags of gold fish or using the pre bought snack sized bags. Also, make sure to address the Valentines while they are flat on the table. Once the bag toppers get stapled to the treat addressing the Valentines gets much trickier.
Step 3- Fold & Staple
After the Goldfish Valentines are signed, fold the printable on the dotted line, and use the stapler to secure the bag topper to the snack bag. To spruce up the package, staple a peice of raffia or bakers twine to the top of the bag and tie it in a bow.

What a wonderful idea! I just wish my kids were still young enough to give Valentine’s to their classes. I will have to share the idea with my grandsons instead. Thank you for linking up with the Oh My Heartsie Girls Wordless Wednesday Link Party!
Wishing you a wonderful week!
