Valentines ideas
https://bigfamilyblessings.com/simple-valentines-day-traditions-to-start-with-your-family-this-year/
Love Scavenger Hunt – Cut out hearts from construction paper, choosing a
different color of construction paper for each family member. On each heart
write something you love about that family member. Hide the hearts in the house for a fun
scavenger hunt.
Love Jar – Gather enough jars for each family member to have one.
Label each jar with the name of a family member. Fill the jar with popsicle
sticks labeled with favorite things about that family member.
Post-It
Note Love – Place post-it love notes
where your child will find them (on the mirror, by her shoes, on the
television, etc).
Valentine’s Family Movie Night – pop some popcorn, add pink and red candy-coated
chocolates and/or sprinkles. Watch a movie such as The Princess Bride, Beauty
and the Beast, Shrek, or The Lorax. Here is a whole list of movies your whole family can enjoy on Valentine’s Day.
Family
Love Jar – Starting at the
beginning of February, place a jar and a stack of paper slips out. Encourage
family members to write special things about your family on the slips of
paper. Read the notes together on
Valentine’s Day.
Love Door – Tape hearts with
things you love about your child on his bedroom door while he sleeps the night
before Valentine’s Day.
I Love You
Meal – Make a Valentine’s Day
theme meal as a family. Make heart-shaped pancakes or sandwiches and set the
table with fancy dishes.

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
