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.

It's such a simple way to reach out to customers, but it leaves a lasting impression. The notes are always personalized and genuine.

And Chewy has gone above and beyond in other ways, too. The one time I had an issue with an order getting lost (actually the shipping company's fault), Chewy sent me a whole new box of goodies to replace it...and had it at my door the next day!
.
It got me thinking: What companies have impressed you with their customer service? What makes you stick around as a lifelong customer?
