Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples; it’s a great opportunity to have some fun with the whole family, especially the kids! Engaging in crafts and activities can make this holiday extra special for your little ones. Here are some delightful Valentine’s Day activities that are sure to bring smiles and create cherished memories.
1. Heart-Shaped Crayon Art
Collect all the broken crayons around the house, and let your kids create something new. Peel the paper off, break the crayons into small pieces, and place them in silicone heart-shaped molds. Bake at a low temperature until the crayons melt. Once cooled, they pop out as new, multicolored heart crayons that kids can use for drawing or give as gifts!
2. Valentine’s Day Cards
Set up a card-making station with cardstock, markers, stickers, and glitter. Encourage your children to create personalized Valentine’s cards for family members, friends, or classmates. It’s a wonderful way for them to express their feelings and use their creativity.
3. Cookie Decorating
Bake some sugar cookies in advance and set up a cookie-decorating workshop. Provide different colors of icing, sprinkles, and candy hearts. Decorating cookies is not only fun but also delicious! Plus, it’s a great sensory activity for children of all ages.
4. Valentine’s Treasure Hunt
Create a treasure hunt around your home with little notes and clues that lead to a treasure of heart-shaped treats or small toys. Each clue can have a riddle or a task that must be completed to get the next one, making the game exciting and mentally stimulating.
5. DIY Heart Necklaces
Use pasta dyed with pink and red food coloring or buy some arts and crafts supplies to make DIY necklaces. Kids can paint pasta or beads and string them to make special Valentine’s Day jewelry for themselves or as a gift for someone they care about.
