We’re going all out on holidays this year. I need things to look forward to during the winter months, and so do the kids. Really, we all do. As the first big holiday of the year, I will be going ham for the kids (and Andrew) on Valentine’s Day. Now that we’re back to celebrating holidays and life moments again, I’m so here for it and after such a long winter (at least it feels that way), I’m ready to find a reason to celebrate (anyone else get the blues pretty bad after the Christmas holidays?). I love that the kids have Valentine’s Day parties and we’ve had so much fun picking out Valentines for their class. And because they’re the loves of my life, I’m also scooping up some cute Valentine’s Day gifts for toddlers to give James and Charlotte and Brooks.
It’s already feeling like a really long winter and we have had so much going on that I feel like it’s been a whirlwind the last several months, but the kids have been total champs. So I figured the kids have earned some little Valentine’s Day treats, and mama earned the right to snap of a pic of the kids in matching heart pajamas, right? I find that my kids are absolutely thrilled anytime I find an excuse to celebrate a little bigger so I’m going to milk it up while they’re young. I’m hoping to host a little Valentine’s Day party with a few pf their friends this year, some fun treats we bake and decorate, decor we DIY, and maybe if they’re lucky, a present or two.
I like to use holidays like Valentine’s Day to get them things they need like pajamas, socks or hair bows as well as a couple things to play with on these cold days when we’re stuck inside all day. That way they don’t think the Amazon box of activities and books to keep them busy are just a god-given right (anyone else worry that our kids will grow up just thinking Amazon boxes arriving every day is normal and yet it is?). Here are cute and fun Valentine’s Day gifts for toddlers if you’re looking to make February 14th extra special for your kiddos, too. And really, most of these can work for any little kid since I guess James isn’t a toddler anymore (tear).
