Valentine’s Day is here! For kids, that means candy, crafts and fun. And for you, it can mean quality time with your kids as they put together their cards and gifts. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Your kids will love collecting their Valentine’s Day grams from classmates in a homemade mailbox they’ve decorated themselves. A shoebox works perfectly for this. Use colored construction or tissue paper to wrap it, then draw or paint patterns to bring it to life.
Put some real creativity into card making. Help your kids have the most exciting Valentine’s grams at school by using non-traditional household items like socks and crazy straws. The Room-Mom 101 blog has a bunch of cool ideas. And the Tethered Mommy blog has some simple and fun card-making tips, too.
String together pink, red and white beads to create necklaces and bracelets for your kids to give away as Valentine’s gifts at school. Custom-made jewelry goes great with a candy heart and card!
Of course, the chocolatey goodness of YoCrunch with OREO® cookie pieces or M&M’S® Chocolate Candies is the perfect snack to pair with all these activities. So make this Valentine’s Day sweet and have fun with the whole family!
