Valentine Day Favorites

Valentine’s Day is one of our favorite holidays! I love LOVE and all of the ways that we can show our dear ones how much we appreciate them! My girls especially love this holiday, and we have lots of fun decorating the house with valentines day decorations and making sweet treats, and valentines day crafts!

I’m rounding up some of our top Valentine’s Day ideas, to make your holiday extra special!

1. Valentine Cake & Cookies

Take a look at this gorgeous valentines day photoshoot of a beautiful ombre heart shaped cake and these super special sugar cookies with a heart design! They almost can serve as Valentines Day decor, they are just that pretty!

2. Valentine Sensory Bin

Sensory play is something that I love to incorporate with my kiddos, especially from a young age! Sensory play is great for supporting language development, fine motor skills, and cognitive development. Most of all, it’s hands on, screen free play that is really calming for kids! This is a fun Valentine’s theme DIY that your kids are sure to love!

3. Whipped Hot Cocoa

This decadent treat is sure to be a crowd pleaser! Let your kiddos help out in the kitchen on this one. So fun and extra delicious!

The kids will love making the various icing bowls and you can let them ice them for a sweet afternoon activity.

5. Valentine Affirmations

Nothing says I love you like words of affirmation. Here’s a simple and inexpensive way to show your sweetheart how much you care!
Each day of February leading up to Valentine’s Day, leave affirmation notes in the mailbox. You can even cut construction paper into hearts to make it super sweet! Such an adorable valentines day aesthetic

6. Heart Pom Pom Bookmarks

All you need is a little yarn, a pair of scissors, and a sprinkling of love and you’ve got yourself the cutest homemade valentine to hand out at school. These heart pom pom bookmarks are so so cheap when you divide up the cost of a couple skeins of yarn by a couple dozen kids in elementary school. And can we say, U.N.I.Q.U.E.?!!! They’re cute and fluffy and reusable and full of all the things that make our hearts flutter this time of year.
