Happy Valentine’s Day!

Main Dish: In the spirit of this loving time of the year, have some fun with your child to show your appreciation of them.

Here are five fun activities to LOVE with your child:

1.      Bake Valentine’s Day heart-shaped pancakes.

2.      Together, think of a list of things that you and your child are thankful for and love to do and write those on a piece of pink paper, cut into a heart.  

3.      Create Valentine’s Day-themed decorations and cards out of construction paper and garland and hang them around the house. Make some extra cards and deliver them together to your neighbors.

4.       Have a Valentine’s Day dance at your house! Set up a dance floor and show your kids your moves.

5.      Share the LOVE this Valentine’s Day by volunteering at your local food bank or homeless shelter. 

Tonight’s Dessert: Keep the LOVE going! Just because Valentine’s Day passes does not mean that showing appreciation should pass, too. Ask your child - What do you love most about doing things for others?
