Want to get your kids involved on this lovely holiday? Then get out some construction paper, glue, scissors and your creative flair because the following ideas require a bit of imagination on you and your kids part!
Make Valentine’s Day Card for your family & loved ones
○ Using construction paper, glue, scissors and whatever decorative element you can get your hands on, make a Valentine’s Day card! Doesn’t require much, just a bunch of love and time!
Make Someone a Coupon Book (help around the house, get out of jail free card,
whatever!)
○ I’m seriously contemplating doing this for my boyfriend. A bunch of coupons for ‘not doing the dishes tonight’ or ‘free night out with the guys’. Both inexpensive and exactly what he’d like! (permission from me to get out of doing chores)
○ You can get really creative & specific with this for the person you’re making it for! (i.e. If making it for mom, throw in a few ‘I’ll do the dishes’, ‘not make a mess’, ‘clean up after my own toys’, etc.)
Create Beaded Jewelry Crafts
○ Go to your local craft store and pick up a variety of beads and string. You and your kids can create one of a kind jewelry pieces for each other or their friends!
Handprint Poems
○ When you come up with enough creative writing to write a poem for your loved one, make sure you display it properly by putting it on a hand printed cut-out! (trace your own hand to make it personal)
Bake Valentine’s Day Cookies
○ You can use the store bought ones, or create your own. Regardless this activity with kids will be super fun and very yummy!!!
Personalized Valentine’s Day Candy Jar
○ This will be super fun for your kids to create. Get various sizes of jar/containers, ink/paint & stamps. (This will get messy so make sure you have a cleaning station prepared and newspaper down on your surface)
○ Let their imagination run wild!! After its dried, fill the jar with all sorts of little candy treats!
These crafts allow you and your kids to get in the spirit for this lovely day! Let us know your fun craft ideas!?
