Here are some easy ways to celebrate the day of love all week long.
Cut out hearts form construction paper and decorate them with glitter and hang them everywhere.
Cut heart shapes from white paper and write on it a message with white crayon and then let the kids paint over it with watercolor or make your own by adding food coloring to water. Ice trays or egg cartons are great to hold these homemade watercolors.
Use heart shaped cookie cutters for toast, sandwiches, brownies, Rice Krispie treats and more.
Have red punch or fruit juice ready to serve.
Make a special Valentine for Jesus!
Cut out construction paper heart shapes and write a Bible verse on each one about love and hang around the house or send to your family, friends and neighbors.
Make valentines and simple gifts to add to goody bags and deliver to nursing homes to those residents that never get visitors.
Put a rose in everyone’s bedroom, you can use artificial roses.
Give little love notes daily to the members in your family.
Have a special breakfast, lunch or dinner on Valentines Day!
Read some Valentines Day books.
