\"Kids<\/a>Valentine\u2019s Day is just around the corner! Valentine\u2019s Day is so much more than a couple\u2019s holiday; it\u2019s also a time to celebrate the love you share as a family. It\u2019s always important to show how much you care to those you love the most. Here are some ideas for fun activities the entire family can do to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day at home this year!
\nStart on a Sweet Note<\/strong>
\nSince Valentine\u2019s Day falls on a Thursday this year, you can keep breakfast simple, especially if your family is usually rushing off to school or work in the mornings! If you have time, make some red velvet pancakes,<\/a> bacon egg-in-a-heart,<\/a> French toast sticks<\/a>, or Overnight sausage & egg breakfast casserole<\/a>. If you need something to go, serve up some sweet scones<\/a>, breakfast egg muffins<\/a>, or even donuts! Bonus points if you make them heart shaped.<\/em>
\nMake Valentine\u2019s Day cards<\/strong>
\nInstead of rushing out to buy gifts, get the family together to make homemade Valentines. This is a great way to spend some time with the kids and work on a craft together. This can be a simple craft with construction paper, markers, and even doilies or yarn! Get creative and have fun.
\nIf you have older children, encourage them to write letters of appreciation to each member of the family. These should be specific but don\u2019t have to be super sappy! They can be messages like \u201cI love how you come up with fun dance moves or \u201cI love how you make me laugh when I\u2019m feeling down.
\nMake Dinner Festive<\/strong>
\nRestaurants are always busy on Valentine\u2019s Day so skip the rush and have dinner at home (either something you make yourself or ordering in from your favorite restaurant). You can make it special and set the table with your best dinnerware and candles (encourage everyone to get dressed up to add to the experience) or have something fun like a heart-shaped pizza<\/a>.
\nMovie Night<\/strong>
\nAt the end of the day, gather everyone in the living room for a movie night, completely with Valentine\u2019s themed snacks like pink popcorn<\/a>, chocolate, or one of these sweet Valentine\u2019s Day treats.<\/a> You can watch a family favorite Valentine\u2019s Day movie like \u201cThe Princess Bride, \u201cEnchanted, \u201cShrek, or \u201cWall-E to name a few!
\nThese activities are a great way to celebrate and make Valentine\u2019s Day special for the entire family. These small gestures will leave each member of the family feeling loved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
