Ideas for Celebrating Valentine’s Day with the Whole Family
Looking for some great ideas to celebrate love with your family this Valentine’s Day? We’ve got some amazing ideas that you can do at home with kids of any age.
Make some sweet treats
Rather than going out and buying some chocolates, consider making your own. Chocolate dipped fruits are delicious but very expensive. Melt some chocolate at home and pick some of your family’s favorite fruits. We love chocolate dipped strawberries, pineapple, cherries, and bananas. You can even try some out of the box options like bacon, cheesecake bites, or potato chips. Other popular sweets like cookies, cupcakes, and cakes can be fun for decorating.
Create Valentine’s Day Cards
Grab your craft supplies and have everyone make their own Valentine’s Day cards for each other. This is especially fun for children and creates fantastic keepsakes you’ll cherish for years. Plan ahead and get some Valentine’s Day-themed stickers, paper, and stamps. If your children are particularly creative, you can give them paints or let them use the computer to design a card for each family member. Once you finish making them, you can exchange them.
Have a special meal
Most families have favorite meals. Some cool ideas would be fondue, creamy pasta with shrimp, filet mignon, pot roast, lasagna, or sushi. Valentine’s Day is a great time to not just eat rich, comforting foods, but to embrace the ritual of preparing a meal together. Don’t shy away from meals that take longer to prepare. Half the fun is making it! Not a fan of cooking? Order in from your favorite restaurant. Instead of eating out of the take-out containers, set the table with flowers and candles and enjoy the meal like you would in the restaurant.
Watch a romantic movie
Dinner and a movie might sound kind of obvious but it’s a tried and true favorite. Choose your favorite romantic comedy and set the stage. Gather up blankets, pillows, and your favorite snacks (like those sweet treats you made earlier). Make sure to put your phones away. It’s easy to be distracted from the television by social media. The point is to enjoy a movie together, so don’t let your attention stray away from the activity.
