Q: Can I use something other than glow sticks?
A: While glow sticks are the perfect “light bulb” handle, you can get creative! Try using colorful straws or pencils for a non-glowing alternative.
Q: How many valentines does one printable sheet make?
A: Each sheet creates four valentines, making it easy to print and prepare for classroom exchanges or parties.
