Inside: Need some Easy Valentine’s Day Activities for Toddlers? We’ve got you covered with these simple, minimal-prep learning, food, and craft activities from Pinterest!
Are you really surprised?
It’s no secret that I love Pinterest. If I could actually try all of the ideas I’ve saved on there over the years, I would be one happy individual. One of my favorite things to do is create seasonal boards – all the better to organize my ideas – thus ensuring I can actually find them again later when the time is right.
Although you know I love fall, my favorite seasonal board is Valentine’s Day is For Lovers. Hearts! Sprinkles! Chocolate! Oh My!
But if I’m being honest, sometimes Pinterest is just so Pinterest, you know? Like do I really have the time and money to do this elaborate craft while juggling a busy toddler and two dogs?
Some ideas are probably best left for daydreaming.
These ideas though? All totally doable, toddler and dogs in tow. After all, they were created by fellow mom bloggers!

Every year I throw a Valentine’s Day party for my toddler and her little friends. I put a red plastic table cloth over my kitchen table and I purchase all the of cute V-Day sprinkles Homegoods has to offer (it’s a sugary kind of day, right?) and we just let the girls craft and eat to their tiny hearts’ content.
The favorite activity though? Sugar cookie decorating, hands-down. They always love that activity the most since they can get messy and eat sweet treats!
So in honor of Valentine’s Day, here are my favorite, and most importantly doable, Valentine’s Day ideas from Pinterest.

These are all such great ideas! I love the love monster, that would be so cute to make! I can’t wait for my little man to be a little older so that we can do more fun crafts that he’ll like doing.
Same! I think my toddler would like playing with the craft supplies, but in a couple of years I know she would like to help make one!
I love the Love Monster box! I miss decorating shoe boxes for Valentines. It was one of my favorite things to do in elementary school.
