8 Fun Family Valentines Activities to Try
- A V-Day-themed breakfast: Start the day off with Valentine’s fun including a V-Day-themed breakfast. It’s simple to make heart-shaped pancakes, cinnamon rolls, or bacon!
- Make homemade valentine’s cards for each member of your family: This holiday is the perfect time to share with your family what they mean to you. It also teaches your kids – no matter their age – to express their appreciation for those around them. Depending on the ages of your kids, this may look like a really simple drawing or scribbling or if they are older, encourage them to write a message. Either way, this is a perfect place to begin celebrating the day as a family.
- Participate in a random act of kindness: Maybe there is a widow in your neighborhood you could bring flowers to. Maybe you bake cookies or treats for someone in need. Or even pay for the person ahead of you in line in a drive-thru or restaurant. It’s a wonderful opportunity to give back and make a small positive impact on someone else as a family.
- Dress up and have a special dinner: You might not want to drag your kids out of the house, so bring the fancy into your home! Have everyone dress up in fancy clothes and pick up their favorite takeout. Light candles, play some music, and make it a special night that you can all enjoy together as a family.
- Have a classic movie night: After you’ve had your fancy meal, have everyone get into their pajamas and watch one of your favorite family movies and enjoy whatever candy or treats you have together.
- Set up a “photo booth” feel: Setting up a photo wall to take valentine’s day photos is so simple and easy. It also gives you a way to look back on this day that you worked hard to make special and will provide memories for the future.
- Slime it up: Do you kids love slime? Make a Valentine’s Day edition! It’s super simple and easy. Get the directions on how to make it here.
- Bake Valentine’s treats together: When everyone gets home from school/work, get together in the kitchen to bake something delicious. Whether it’s heart-shaped cupcakes, cookies, or even a red velvet cake, this is a simple but fun way to enjoy the day together.
