People often think Valentine’s Day is for adults, but it’s definitely for kids too! There are lots of ways to create memories and make Valentine’s Day fun for kids. We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day at home this year, and came up with this list of fun Valentine’s ideas for kids. Best part? You can find what you need to celebrate at Safeway !
Stay at Home Valentine’s Day Ideas!
We’ll definitely be having some Valentine’s Day fun with special meals, decorating cookies with special DIY kits and watching Valentine’s Day movies. Use these ideas to create a memorable holiday for the whole family!
DECORATE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
You can decorate for Valentine’s Day without spending a lot of money! Whether you decorate your walls with a package of foam hearts or cut out hearts with construction paper, you can really make things look festive! If your family is feeling sad about putting away holiday decorations, then start decorating for Valentine’s Day now! It’s a great way to get your child excited and keep them entertained!
DECORATE SUGAR COOKIES TOGETHER
Head to Safeway for Signature DYI decorating kits available in the bakery – includes cookies or cupcakes, frosting in piping bags and sprinkles to make sweet treats at home. Decorate your cookies with a ridiculous amount of Signature SELECT® sprinkles. You can even pick up your own DIY cupcakes to decorate! Spread the love with your own custom-made cookies and cupcakes this Valentine’s Day. Fun for both kids and adults!
MAKE A VALENTINE’S DAY BREAKFAST
Have a special Valentine’s Day breakfast with strawberry pancakes or waffles! You can even add food coloring to homemade whipped cream to turn it pink. There are lots of fun Valentine’s themed food you can make for breakfast. Save time and set your table the night before, after the kids go to bed.
WRAP A SMALL PRESENT
One of our traditions is buying fun Valentine’s themed shirts to wear. I also like buying the kids a small gift like a Hot Wheels car or new crayons. It doesn’t have to be anything large or over the top.
HAVE A VALENTINE’S DAY DINNER
If you’ve made your kids a special Valentine’s Day breakfast, make a special Valentine’s Day dinner for you and your partner. Don’t forget to pickup flowers from Safeway’s floral department. I love the single red rose with vase I found in Safeway’s floral department! So simple and pretty.
ENJOY SPECIAL VALENTINE’S TREATS
In addition to decorating your own cookies, don’t miss the jumbo Valentine’s Day cupcakes in the bakery, or the chocolate-dipped strawberries available in the produce. Chocolate dipped Signature Farms® strawberries are usually available the week before Valentine’s Day. You definitely don’t want to miss picking them up!
USE VALENTINE’S DAY CANDY FOR DECORATION
Fill a jar or vase with layered Valentine’s Day candy and chocolate. It will be a cute decoration, and then you dan let your kids eat it on Valentine’s Day. You can find Valentine’s Day candy at Safeway!
