Baby Yoda with a Valentine
If your students are fans of Baby Yoda and want their Valentine cards to look extra cool this year, they might love learning how to draw a Baby Yoda Valentine. Sure, super artsy Valentine cards that look like fine art are always impressive—but sometimes it’s just as fun (and even more motivating) to connect art-making to something students already adore.
When kids realize they can draw a character they totally recognize, their confidence tends to shoot up. Suddenly, drawing doesn’t feel like a “school assignment” anymore—it feels like a skill they can actually use for something personal. And that’s where the magic happens: once students feel successful, they’re more willing to slow down, follow steps, and pay attention to details like proportion, line quality, and even expression.
This project also makes a great mini-lesson in how simple shapes can turn into something more complex. Start with a few basic forms, add the eyes and ears, and you’ve got an instantly recognizable character—then students can make it their own with a Valentine message, a cute heart, or a fun background. Some will keep it simple, others will go all out, and everyone ends up with a card that feels original.
Best of all, it’s a Valentine that actually gets used. Students love giving (and receiving) cards that feel current, funny, and handmade. And who knows? For a few kids, successfully drawing Baby Yoda might be the moment they decide they’re “good at art” after all—and that can lead to a whole lot more drawing long after Valentine’s Day is over.

Materials for Baby Yoda Valentine
- Prang Classic Art Markers, Bullet Tip. Special marker formula won’t smudge, bleed through paper, or dry out even after 24 hours with the cap off *affiliate link
- Drawing Paper. Don’t substitute it with copy paper or construction paper. The surface will get fuzzy, erasing might cause holes, and the colors will generally not look as bright. *affiliate link
- Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. *affiliate link
- Black Sharpie Marker. Great for making a crisp outline to your drawing. Use them when you want your outline show up, but not be so heavy that it detracts from other things. *affiliate link
