A Valentine’s Mail Station
We started this tradition a few years ago as my oldest son
was learning to read and write and now my kids can’t wait for us to set it out
each year. This tradition actually starts at the beginning of the month, but
once it’s set up I don’t mess with again.
It’s just a simple invitation on a table in our dining
room for everyone to make Valentine’s for each other. I never force it and just
leave the materials available but I’m always blown away by how much my kids
enjoy this even now, as they’re getting older. I’ve got a whole post on how to set up
your own Valentine’s Mail Station with tips on sneaking in a little literacy practice as
you go.

3. Pin the lips on
the picture
A variation of ‘pin the tail on the donkey’, this one involves a drawn
out poster of a face without lips. Then have some cut outs of lips with tape on
the back of each one. Blindfold each person, spin them around and watch them as
they try and put the lips where they belong! Everyone watching will have a
great time too!

3. TOP SECRET VALENTINE TRADITION
Having a Top Secret Valentine is so fun with kids! A week
before Valentine's Day, write all your family member's name one of these Top
Secret Valentine's assignments. Each
person will get an envelope with their mission on it.
The goal is to do as many nice things for your
"Secret Valentine" as possible before Valentine's Day. On Valentine's
Day, everyone reveals who they had.

Mayhem? All you have to do is sit at opposite ends of the sofa and toss
mini-marshmallows into each other’s mouths. Points for each direct hit or how
many are in their mouth
