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
- Free 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 Valentine printable
To download the “I’m so glad we are in the same school” free printable Valentine, just enter your name and email address below and the free .pdf file will be delivered to your inbox! The Gold Fish Valentines is a 2 page set. One sheet is a set of 4 bag toppers made to fit a Goldfish snack bag. The other sheet is a set of 5 Valentines bag toppers meant for Goldfish and Swedish Fish in small zip locks. This sheet includes 2 sayings:
- I’m so glad we are in the same class
- You’re o-fish-ally an awesome friend
Step 2- Print & Fill out
Print out the Valentines, and then 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. 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
Next, 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.
