Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday with little kids, ¿que no?
It’s not a big holiday, so there’s not really any pressure or high expectations. But it’s just a little chance to celebrate in the middle of a kind of dreary month (for most of the country— no complaints here in Phoenix!). And how can you turn down a reason to celebrate?
I asked the Sol Book Box community to share favorite Valentine’s Day family traditions and loved seeing all the amazing ideas big and small.
Whether you want to go all out or just want a few quick ways to make Febuary 14th feel special, I hope this list will spark some inspiration.
Happy Love Day!
Hacemos tarjetas a mano y un postre delicioso. – @casa_iniguez
We always celebrate with heart-shaped pizza at a local pizza place. And we always do some Valentine crafts for school. Of course we also read picture books about Valentine’s Day! Or just books about love. And I buy them heart-shaped pasta! – @thebeginningofyourlifebookclub
Decoro bonito la mesa para el desayuno, con corazones en los platos. Luego les hago un desayuno rosa (licuado de fresas, pan o pancakes con mermelada rosa, fruta rosa o roja, etc.). – Sara
We have a tradition of making chocolate covered strawberries together with our kids and passing them out to our friends. It’s a fun and easy thing for kids to do! – @cuentobooks
Mi esposo nos lleva a cenar, y llegando a casa vemos películas y palomitas. – @mamii_little_baby
I’m doing something with my daughter this year where I have been surprising her with a heart everyday with affirmations or why I love her so much. She’s been loving it. – @capturingcultura
We always make Valentine’s boxes for the kids to take to school for their Valentine letters. We love how they can work on their crafting skills. This year we are going with book themed boxes and my oldest chose Harry Potter as her theme. – Ana Lucía
For Valentine’s Day, we decorate with felt heart garlands and wooden AMOR letters, send cards to Amado’s pen pals throughout the country, and make anything and everything with strawberries- strawberry pie, chocolate-covered fresas, and strawberry agua fresca. – @lolascocina
We make my mom’s sugar cookies and decorate them. Been doing it since I was a little girl. – @holaamigo.utah
At our house, I think we’ll do a pink breakfast and maybe heart-attack the girls’ bedroom door! Probably on Feb. 13th because my daughter’s birthday is on the 14th. 🙂
Does your family have Valentine’s Day traditions? I’d love to hear!
