63 Valentine’s Day Activities for Kids (Games, Crafts, and More!)

Spread the love

I remember Valentine’s Day being one of my favorite holidays growing up. We always got to hand out cute cards to our friends and get some in return. We had parties in school. And we always played fun games and made crafts to take home to our parents. Valentines Day for kids is just an all-around fun holiday filled with smiles and love.

Some of my favorite memories of Valentine’s Day each year aren’t from school and parties, though. They’re from the things we did together as a family. My siblings and I would give each other small presents we bought or made. We always did some kind of art activity or craft. And we’d bake special treats together. It was almost like a second Christmas in our home (partly because it was also my older brother’s birthday – lucky!).

Whether V-Day is a big or small event in your home, your kids will love dabbling in fun activities designed just for the holiday.

➡️Proud mom alert 🚨 

At the same time, I can’t believe college is already here and it’s time to think about All. The. Things. 

Like student loans, for example. [Disclaimer: I started researching about them back when I had my own student loans about ten years ago, just because I knew I’d eventually need to know how they work as a parent of a college student, too!]

If your kiddo is heading to college within the next few years, check out this guide. I explain what you as a parent need to know to help your child prepare for college financially.

Bonus points when it’s made with real cheese and no artificial stuff like colors and preservatives, like Pirate’s Booty Cheddar Blast!

*I received this product #complimentary from @piratesbooty and @influenster 

These cheddar puffs come in 110-calorie packs that are perfect for adding to a school lunch bag or grabbing after a workout. They have only 11 grams of carbs and one gram of sugar, so there’s absolutely no guilt snacking going on over here!

Even this picky kid enjoyed trying out this crunchy treat 🤤

What are your favorite guilt-free snacks?
