Traditionally, Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate your relationship with your partner. However if you’re looking for ideas to incorporate your children into the celebrations, have a read of our top ideas for celebrating with your whole family.
1. A Valentine’s baking morning
Get together to bake some love-themed treats. A box of heart shaped cookies would make a lovely surprise gift for neighbours or teachers!
2. A family photo shoot
Unleash your creativity and have a spontaneous family photo shoot. You could visit your local park, woods, beach or just stay at home, and take some fun pictures together. Use heart shaped props and pink balloons to keep within the Valentine’s theme!
3. Love letters
If you have young children, why not encourage them to write a letter of appreciation to their friends or grandparents? It’s a great way to get into the real spirit of Valentine’s Day and is an extra special keepsake.
4. Host a craft party
Get your kids and their friends together and host a Valentine’s craft party at your home. You could make homemade Valentine’s cards, paint pictures, bake cookies and play games. Or for really young children use two foot prints (heels together) to create heart salt dough decorations or add rose petals to your sensory play.
5. Have a movie night
Why not keep it simple, and get cosy on the sofa for a night of cheesy movies with a love theme? Classics like Lady and the Tramp or Beauty and the Beast are perfect romantic films for all the family to enjoy. Don’t forget to stock up on some Valentine’s chocolates to enjoy while you’re watching!
6. Reverse Valentine’s Day
Why not send each of your children a Valentine’s card and let them know why you love them? It’ll demonstrate the meaning of Valentine’s Day and really spread the love between your family!
