Ok, so I know that Valentine’s day is kind of a Hallmark holiday – and a romantic one at that. It’s kind of weird to celebrate it with your kid, right?
Hear me out — it’s February. It’s cold. The days are short. I need to grasp on to ANYTHING to make days more exciting with my 1 and 3 year old kids.
Valentines day might be traditionally romantic, but it’s easy to celebrate with kids focusing on love and loving each other!
There are lots of Valentine activities for preschoolers that will get them crafting, creating, and exploring!
