Valentine’s Day isn’t just a romantic occasion for the adults. It can be an excellent celebration for the entire family! This holiday season of love is a perfect time for kids to get creative and crafty, especially with the cards they send and receive. And you know they love all those sweets and candy hearts. But then again, who doesn’t?!

Make this Valentine’s Day extra special for the whole family this year! Here are a few tips:

Heart Shaped Pancakes

Start Valentine’s Day out right! Treat the kids to some heart-shaped pancakes as soon as they wake up. Heart-shaped cookie cutters can be found just about anywhere, but if you don’t have time to pick some up, you can also put the pancake batter in a pastry bag (or a ziplock bag) and pipe out the batter in a heart shape.

Movies

Have an animated movie like Shrek, Lady and the Tramp, or Beauty and the Beast. These sweet storybook romance movies are classics anyone at any age can enjoy.

Wear Red

Tell the kids they have to wear red! You can even let them choose a crazy outfit, as long as it’s red.

Crafty Cards

Have the kids work on Valentine’s Day cards for the rest of the family. You can set up a crafts station with red and pink construction paper and lots of crayons, markers, and Valentine stickers.

Candy

Make sure you’re stocked with candy and chocolate to satisfy the kids’ sweet tooth.
