Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples—it’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate love with your little ones too! Whether you have a tiny baby or energetic toddlers, there are plenty of ways to make this day extra special. Here are some fun and simple ways to create heartwarming memories with your children on Valentine’s Day.

1. Love-Themed Sensory Play

Babies and toddlers love exploring new textures, and a love-themed sensory activity is a great way to engage them. Try filling a shallow bin with pink and red sensory items like fabric hearts, cotton balls, or rice dyed with food colouring. You can also add scoops and small cups to encourage fine motor skills.

2. DIY Valentine’s Day Cards

Get creative with your little ones by making homemade Valentine’s Day cards. For babies, you can use their footprints or handprints to create adorable heart shapes. Older children can enjoy sticking, gluing, and decorating their own special cards for family and friends.

3. Bake Heart-Shaped Treats

Baking together is a fantastic bonding activity! Make some simple heart-shaped biscuits, cupcakes, or pancakes and let your child help with mixing and decorating. If you have a baby, you can make baby-friendly treats such as banana pancakes or fruit puree hearts.

4. Valentine’s Day Storytime

Snuggle up with a cosy book and read love-themed stories together. There are plenty of heartwarming children’s books about love, kindness, and friendship that make for a perfect bedtime read.

5. Cuddle Up for a Love-Filled Movie Night

For a relaxed Valentine’s evening, set up a cosy space with blankets and pillows and watch a family-friendly movie together. Choose films with themes of love and friendship, such as ‘Winnie the Pooh’ or ‘Paddington.’

6. Heart-Themed Crafts

Children love arts and crafts, so why not create some Valentine’s-themed decorations? Make paper hearts, decorate wooden hearts, or create a love tree where they can write things they love about their family on heart-shaped cutouts.

7. Love Notes and Affirmations

Encourage positivity by writing little love notes to your child. Stick them on their lunchbox, bedroom door, or even pop one in their pocket. For older children, encourage them to write kind messages to family members and friends.

8. A Love-Themed Treasure Hunt

Organise a mini treasure hunt around your home with heart-shaped clues leading to a small Valentine’s surprise. This is a fun and exciting way to get little ones involved in the celebrations.

9. Matching Valentine’s Outfits

Dress up in adorable Valentine’s outfits with matching colours or heart prints. A sweet way to capture memories is by taking photos of your little one in a cute Valentine’s-themed bib, like one from our Bibbilyboo collection!

10. Spread Love and Kindness

Teach children the true meaning of Valentine’s Day by doing small acts of kindness. Encourage them to make a drawing for a neighbour, donate a toy to charity, or help bake treats for family members.

Valentine’s Day is all about love, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with the joy of family. Whether you’re baking, crafting, or simply snuggling up, these ideas will help create beautiful moments to cherish for years to come.
