DECORATE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
Decorating your home for Valentine’s Day is a nice way to make the day of love special for your kids.
Things like pink, red and white streamers, balloons and ribbons can make your home feel incredibly festive in no time.
Don’t want to buy decorations to use?
Try making a DIY heart curtain for your doorways.
DO VALENTINE’S DAY CRAFTS
There are several different Valentine’s Day crafts for kids to choose from out there.
You can try to make a Valentine’s Day owl craft, DIY Thumbprint Butterflies or even just some simple Valentine’s hearts.
Participating in Valentine’s Day crafts with your kids is a fun way to really connect and spend time together.
LEAVE HEART NOTES
Every day from February 1 to February 14, write things you love about your child on a construction paper heart and tape them to their bedroom door.
They will love reading your thoughts of love day after day and look forward to seeing them every morning!
MAKE THEM SPECIAL VALENTINE’S DAY SNACKS
Whether they will be home on Valentine’s Day or off at school for the day, make your children some healthy Valentine’s snacks.
Fudge stuffed strawberries are a delicious idea for your little ones to enjoy at home or at school.
If you are looking for something perfect to send for a Valentine’s class party, try making some two ingredient Valentine bites.
MAKE VALENTINES TREATS TOGETHER
Spend some time in the kitchen with your little baking up some delicious Valentine’s treats together.
Spending time cooking or baking together not only boasts several benefits for your kids and your relationship with them, but it is also an enjoyable way to spend time together.
After all, you get to taste test your creations when they are finished.
SERVE UP A SPECIAL DINNER
If you still want to enjoy a Valentine’s Day meal alone with your significant other, serve your kids up a special dinner just for them.
Have them get dressed in their fanciest clothing while you cook up their favorite dishes.
Seat them and offer them sparkling water in plastic champagne glasses.
Serve them as though they were in a fancy restaurant.
Bonus points if your beautiful table is decorated to be fancy, and you create your own menu for them to “choose” from.
Don’t forget the fancy music.
There are several ways to make Valentine’s day special for kids this year.
Just get creative and have some fun with it.
