I suppose you could check with the other boys parents first. Ah, what a lovely thought though.. bless him.

I know, it is sweet. Also what if the other boy's parents react badly? Bit of a dilema.

I think its really sweet. That doesn't mean the recipient will feel the same way, I suppose. What a shame to have to question it though.

No right and wrong in this instance just not what some would expect.
Niobe makes a valid point, that sadly in this day and age it could be seen as inappropriate.
I am not saying it is

His friend is male, which is why I posed the question. It would not have been right when I was young but I didn't know about now. It is all perfectly innocent but I don't know if he's signed it.

Depends on whether the best friend is male or female. You have not given enough detail to get a meaningful response. If the friend is female then it is entirely appropriate, if male then it could cause problems as even primary school pupils are capable of bullying him unmercifully if it gets out. Remember Valentine cards should be anonymous.

Do you think it would? We need a little more to go on.

All nice chatty replies gratefully received smile

No!

Would it be considered inappropriate for a 7 year old boy to send a valentines card and a small soft toy labelled "hugs and kisses" to his best friend?
