Additional Valentine’s Day Activities

Here are some heartwarming  activities that pair perfectly with the placemats and will surely spread the love:

1. Homemade Valentine’s Cards: After your little ones finish coloring their placemats, encourage them to create handmade cards using construction paper, glitter, and stickers. It’s a lovely way for them to express their affection for friends and family.
2. Heart-Shaped Cookie Baking: Don your chef hats and whip up a batch of sugar cookies using heart-shaped cutters. Decorating these sweet treats can be as much fun as eating them, and it’s a delicious way to reinforce the theme of love.
3. Valentine’s Day Story Time: Cozy up with many books about love and friendship. After reading, ask your children to draw their favorite scene or character on the back of the placemat for an extra dose of storytelling.
4. DIY Heart Wreaths: Gather paper plates, tissue paper, and ribbons to craft a festive wreath. Ripping and gluing the tissue paper is fun and great for fine motor skill development.
5. Love-Themed Scavenger Hunt: Create a simple scavenger hunt around the house or yard with clues hidden under placemats. Each clue leads to a small Valentine’s or treat, making the holiday an interactive adventure.
6. Cupid’s Arrow Toss: Make a game where kids can toss handmade ‘arrows’ into heart-shaped targets. It’s a fun way to burn off energy and practice hand-eye coordination.
7. Valentine’s Sensory Bin: Fill a bin with rice dyed pink and red, add some heart-shaped scoops, and let the little ones dig in. It’s a tactile experience that can be both calming and engaging.
8. Valentine’s Crafts: Encourage your children to use their artistic skills beyond the placemat with some delightful Valentine’s crafts. For instance, they can create a ‘Love Bug’ with a pom-pom body, pipe cleaner antennae, and googly eyes. Or, they can try making heart-shaped sun catchers with tissue paper and contact paper to brighten up any window.
9. Valentine Bubble Wrap Stamping: This is a super fun and easy activity that recycles bubble wrap and creates beautiful art. Cut a piece of bubble wrap into a heart shape, let the kids dip it into red or pink paint, and stamp to their heart’s content. They can make a series of prints to create custom wrapping paper or a lovely piece of artwork to gift to a special someone.
10. Valentine’s Day Coloring Pages: Complement the placemats with a variety of Valentine’s Day coloring pages.
