Family-friendly activities 

Valentine’s Day is a great day to teach kids about love and there’s no better way to show love than by spending some quality time together as a family. 

One way you can get in some of that quality time is by making a craft to gift to other members of your family or your kid’s first crush.

Here are some of our favorite Valentine’s Day craft ideas that kids of all ages can do with help from their parents or on their own. 

Or, if crafting isn’t your family’s style, consider a book about Valentine’s Day instead.
