It's time for some Valentine's Day sweetness in your kiddos or sweeties lunch. These lunches are so cute that it might even earn you an extra hug or kiss.

I like how this super simple and cute heart sandwich is the fun of a thumbprint cookie in a sandwich. All it takes is a cookie cutter and some fun sprinkles on a standard peanut butter and jelly.

Who doesn't love to receive a love letter? You can make a simple love letter sandwich with only 3 pieces of bread and a rolling pin. For the heart shape "seal" one the letter you can use even a heart sticker if you don't have anything else heart shaped foodwise.

If your Valentine is a little too old for a cutesy heart lunch I really love this monster love themed sandwich. It requires a little more effort but it's SUPER cute
