Valentine’s Day ideas for kids and parents

For children, Valentine’s Day is about telling people they love them. Help them do exactly that.

Make it together, free

A letter from CupidA letter about the love your child actually has: for a friend, a grandparent, a pet. Heart coloring pages as cardsPrint a few and let them sign each one for their class.

Under $20

A heart-shaped breakfast. Pancakes, toast, anything with a cutter. Free, and they talk about it all day.
Handmade cards for the class. Start a week early. One a night is manageable.
A love note in the lunchbox. Every day that week. Keep them short.
A book about kindness. Read it together at bedtime.
A family movie night. Red snacks, a blanket fort, and everyone in pajamas.

$20 to $75

For your partner: dinner after bedtime. A proper meal once the kids are down beats a crowded restaurant.

Never miss it again. Add your husband or partner on your account and we’ll email them before Valentine’s Day with ideas like these. Set up reminders.
