Countdown to Valentine's Day

Decorate Valentine Boxes as a family, drop sweet notes, art, and anything meaningful in them, and. open them together on Valentine's Day

Cut out paper hearts, write sweet messages/things you love/favorite memories with your little one, and leave a heart on your little one's door every night leading up to Valentine's Day - or even longer!! 

Take 14 of your little one's favorite books about love and Valentine's Day, wrap them, and number each book.  Then, cut out 14 paper hearts, number the hearts, and write sweet messages to your little one on the beach of each heart.  Each night leading up to Valentine's Day your little one draws a heart, reads a sweet message from you, and opens up whatever number book is on the heart! 

Draw a heart for each member of the family and each member writes things they love about each other in the heart. 

So many ways to go with this! Either grab a disco ball and some glow sticks to tape to yourselves and dance your hearts out, or make it a fancy night where everyone gets dressed up and the boys get the girls flowers before the dance.

Normally we try to focus on screen free activities, but sometimes you just need a family movie or TV night! Check out the link before to your unofficial list of TV shows (for parents and kids) along with our favorite Valentine's Day picks to make the evening more "Valentine-y"
