With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we have been busy thinking about activities to do with our young toddlers. Many of us will be stuck in the house with little ones today due to the snow storm, so we hope that these activities provide you with some fun ideas.
1) Print out free Valentine coloring pages for the kids to color and/or paint
Here are a few fun pictures to print out: Valentine’s Day coloring pages
2) Make homemade Valentine’s cards
Here are a few examples of my favorites.
3) Make a Valentine’s Day card holder
Here are step-by-step instructions to make a simple hanging card holder.
4) Bake Valentine’s Day cookies
5) Make Valentine’s Day chocolate lolli-pops
My 3 year old and I made chocolate lolli-pops for both her and her sister’s friends at school last holiday season and plan to make more to give to their friends this Valentine’s day.
6) If you don’t feel like making homemade Valentine’s Day cards, order photo cards to mail to friends and/or family
Many online photo shops run specials this time of year. And if you really wanted to send out 2010 Holiday cards and never got around to it (like me last year), this is a great way to let your family and friends know that you’re thinking of them in the new year.

My 3 year old made Valentine’s cards for her grandparents yesterday. I found “make your own cards” at the $1 spot at Target. It had cards and stickers and she also glued buttons and colored…very cute and inexpensive!! Thanks for the ideas!
Oh what a fab idea, Melody! I haven’t been to Target in a while, but will definitely check it out. Thanks for the great tip!
The dayhome the kids attend during the day will be doing a card exchange, I plan to make the cards with Big Brother this weekend. Thanks for the ideas! (Oh, and there may be some chocolate fudge involved)
I would love to see photos when he’s done with his cards! And YUM, I loveeee chocolate fudge. Will you be posting your recipe?
