Every February on Valentine's Day, cards, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones. Did you know that almost 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged anually? People even give their pets cards! The word Valentine comes from Saint Valentine of Rome and Saint Valentine of Terni who were martyred on February 14th. They are both known for their compassionate and loving acts. This holiday has developed to represent love. So, enjoy this holiday of love by sharing our fun Valentine's Day activities, crafts, games, and gift ideas with your children.

Make some thumbprint heart cookies. This is a great recipe for little ones to help with! Use a roll of readymade sugar cookies dough. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. Dip thumb or index finger in egg mixture to generously coat with color. Press finger onto each cookie at an angle twice to make heart shape. Sprinkle with red sprinkles and bake. Make a small baggy with some cellophane and tie with a special ribbon and card. Share these tasty treats with your neighbors and friends.

Valentines Mouse Bookmark

Make this easy Valentine;s Day bookmark craft with your children to give to someone special. Use a wooden craft stick and paint red. Trace and cut one large and two small hearts out of red and pink craft paper. Glue small hearts to the top of the large heart as ears. With marker draw eyes and whiskers onto the face. Glue onto craft stick and add a conversation heart just below the face.

Make a Family Photo Book.
Cut a cover page out of red craft paper and write the title "I Love My Family" on the top of the page. Cut a heart out of pink craft paper and decorate with glitter pens. Each family member creates a page for the family book. Have each family member add a photo(s) to their page and decorate. Laminate for extra strength. Punch holes in the pages and tie them together with ribbon or string. Cut out a small heart and attach to the end of the string. This makes a great coffee table book.
