help…valentines at kindergarten ?

hi,
my so goes to kndergarten and they are having valentines celebrations.. generally having fun with games/crafts.. exchanging cards and gifts etc.
I am from India and except for young college students no one really celebrates valentines much.
So, I have NO idea what i should send with my son.. what kind of gifts/cards etc should i send that are appropriate for kids this age and also to send at school? ( any candy/treats with nuts are out of question.)
Give me some ideas please!

Nothing with peanuts

Go to target, CVS, Walmart, Walgreen, etc

They will have just cards
they will have card with stickers
They will have candy with cards

Anything in the valentines area will do

With candy, make sure you send them with out peanut

    At any grocery store or WalMart type store you’ll find boxed valentine’s cards that are appropriate for a Kindergarten class. Basically you want to make sure he gives one card to every person in his class, including the teacher. I wouldn’t worry about sending any food items unless the teacher mentioned food items.

    Yes, little cards in boxes from WalMart, Target, grocery store, etc. You can buy a bag of lollipops or heart-shaped erasers for gifts. Some kids give valentine cards with valentine pencils through them.

    I never put a treat with the valentine. I usually buy a box of kids valentines from the store and have my daughter fill out the names. At that age, it can take a long time, so I have her do about 5 a day and then it’s not overwhelming. Your son would probably like to pick them out. They usually have ones that seem more like boys (they have cars, etc. on them)

    cookies are always good and make them look like hearts and any cards will do just go to C.V.S or something and let him pick the cards no big
