5 Ways Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Home with Kids
Valentine’s Day is no where close to being my favorite holiday (there are so many more I enjoy!). However, since my daughters love the day of love, I like to make February 14th special in our home. Here are 5 ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home with kids.
- I always start the month of February off with an easy Valentine’s Day tradition: daily compliment paper hearts. I write short complimentary sentences, “You are so good at Math!” or “You’re the bravest!” on a cutout heart and leave it at the breakfast counter or posted on the bedroom door.
- A ‘Love’ themed breakfast (or lunch/dinner) – use red paper plates, serve heart shaped pancakes and strawberries, and decorate the table with faux rose petals. Check out these 30 Love Themed Snacks for Kids.
- Make DIY Handprint Heart Art with your little ones to gift to family and friends.
- “I Love You Treasure Hunt” – Write different reasons why you love your child on post-it notes and hide them around the house.
- Read sweet books together (like the ones below)!
