1. Card Making<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was obviously going to be our top choice. Who doesn\u2019t love receiving cards on Valentine\u2019s day? Let the children draw and design the card however they want. You can use pencils, crayons, paints, chalk or even pasta and glue \u2013 make it as fun as you want!<\/p>\n

2. Bake Something Sweet to Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whip out a cake mix (or make one from scratch) and bake a cake or cupcakes for everyone to enjoy. Decorate with red hearts, red icing, red sprinkles\u2026you get the idea!<\/p>\n

3. Create a Bouquet of Roses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use craft paper or card to fashion a bouquet of the most romantic flowers in the world \u2013 long stemmed red roses or if that\u2019s a bit too tricky make a romantic flower picture by cutting out flower shapes. You could even add this to the front of a card for two activities in one!<\/p>\n

4. Make a Special Valentine\u2019s Day Collage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find photos of the people who are special to you and piece them together to create a special collage. Then decorate the collage with stickers, glitter and beads to create a lovely piece of art that will look beautiful on the wall or fridge.<\/p>\n

5. Enjoy Quality Time<\/strong><\/p>\n
