Hey friends! It’s me again, Kelly from Live Laugh Rowe. I usually stop by for the Share the Love series Jamie hosts each year. I’m always happy to spread a little extra love for the upcoming holiday. It is one of my favorites! Today I’m sharing a fun kid-friendly DIY valentine that includes thumbprints. Seriously, how cute are these Thumbprint Cactus Valentines?
Supplies for Thumbprint Cactus Valentines

How to download the free cactus printable
To download the free printable cactus Valentines, enter your name and email address below and the free file will be delivered to your inbox! The fingerprint template Valentines come 4 to a page and say, “Free Hugs!” and “I’m stuck on you!”
Print off the printable valentine template and cut out. Next you’ll want to have your child use his thumbprint to start the cactus — then maybe use his pinky finger print to do smaller ones off of the large one.
Use the black fine point marker to create some of the thorns and maybe an orange or pink marker to create a colorful cacti floral.
You might want to color in the pot as well — and the rest is already done! Cute puns and valentine wishes are already included on the printable. Woo-Hoo!
Please Note: All printables and downloads designed by Live Laugh Rowe are for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Please do not alter the file or claim it as your own. This file is not intended for resale, nor are the printed versions of this file.
We all know that sometimes handmade valentines are a little harder to squeeze in, so I have these adorable Cactus Valentines for you on my blog. A little less work, but just as cute. Decisions, decisions!
