I am always looking for something for my kids to do for Valentines Day. Maybe it is because we homeschool and the kids don’t get the benefit of school parties and such, I’m not sure. Anyway, I try to do a party with the kids and grandkids every year with special Valentine’s Day food and decor and a craft or two. It is always a lot of fun for everyone and a great way to make memories.
Here are a few of my favorites from around the Internet.
- Remember the lacing cards? They are great for fine motor skills and they are just fun. You can make hearts, laminate them and allow small children to lace red, pink, or white ribbon or yarn through them. This is great for a Sunday school class or preschool activity. Kids as young as two can do this easily. Heart Lacing Activity Pattern
- Most kids will be able to make these cute Valentines Day Hats with a little adult supervision.
- Homemade Valentine’s Cards are always fun. This one has pin pricks in it to let the light through.
- Valentine’s Day Mice from chocolate kisses are not only fun…they are chocolate. Enough said.
- Lollipop Valentines are fun to make for friends. They are a nice option to the boxed Valentine’s Day cards
Even just making cards from construction paper, some lace scraps and some glitter is a great way to spend a winter afternoon. Gather some glue and other materials and give your child free creative rein!
