10 Fun Valentine’s Day Activities for Kids

1. Bake Cookies

Fun Valentine’s Day activities for kids don’t have to be complex! Keep things simple and just work with the kids to bake heart-shaped cookies! Then have fun decorating them with pink, white, and red icing!

2. Watch a Movie

An excellent way to keep kids busy on any holiday is to set them up with a movie. If you don’t own any Valentine’s themed movies, you’re sure to be able to find a great one on Amazon!

3. Color

If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day activities for kids that you’ll also enjoy, why not do some coloring? Your kids can color in a fun Valentine’s themed book, while you color one of the many fun adult coloring books that are available!

4. Make Heart-Shaped Paper Crafts

Making heart-shaped paper crafts is a lovely way to spend Valentine’s Day! Kids can easily make their own wreaths, garlands, or heart-shaped paper animals.

5. Play with Valentine’s Colored Play dough

Kids love playing with play dough! As a result, fun Valentine’s Day activities for kids can be any requiring dough! Either stock up on pink and red commercial playdough, or easily make your own playdough at home!

6. Read a Valentine’s Story

It’s always fun to read, and there are tons of lovely Valentine’s books for kids available. Borrow some from the library, buy a few, or download some to your e-reader for your kids to read with you, or if they’re old enough, by themselves.

7. Make Homemade Valentines

When thinking of fun Valentine’s Day activities for kids, don’t forget a classic- making Valentines! Whether you’re making these ahead of time to be taken to class or on the big day to give to family, kids will have fun making their own valentines!

8. Make Jewelry

Jewelry-making is a wonderful opportunity for creativity! Your kids can make jewelry out of beads, macaroni, rubber bands, or a variety of other materials. Try to stick to Valentine’s colors, or to heart-shaped themes.

9. Make a Heart-Shaped Bird Feeder

Did you know that February is actually National Bird-Feeding Month? You can celebrate it and Valentine’s at the same time by working with the kids to make a DIY heart-shaped bird feeder!

10. Make Fake Flowers

Your kids don’t need to have access to bunches of real flowers to enjoy flowers on Valentine’s Day! Instead, help them make some pretty faux flowers. You can make fake flowers out of coffee filters or paper, or even crochet them (if your kids know how to crochet).
