Valentine’s Day Countdown Ideas

Valentine’s Day Countdown

Countdown to Valentine's Day

The kids have really been looking forward to February!  I’m really glad I’m feeling better and excited about things myself.

I put together a list of the daily activities I did last year.  As you can see, some were quick and took no planning at all and others were more time consuming.  I tried to switch things up and planned the more involved activities for days when we would have more time.

It’s not too late to begin a countdown!

1st Put up and decorate Valentine Tree and take pictures of the kids with their new T-Shirts.

2nd Valentine (Pink) Sticky Buns

3rd Make and decorate your own Valentine cookie.

4th Valentine Sandwiches

5th Heart shaped pink bread pudding

6th Hide candy in their rooms for them to find during quiet time.

7th Play a review game with their homeschooling facts with Valentine M&Ms for prizes.

8th Drink hot chocolate in Valentine mugs.

9th Make your own heart shaped pizza.

10th Strawberry shakes

11th Valentine Jello Jigglers

12th Chocolate dipped strawberries

13th Go out to eat heart-shaped pizza.

14th Krispy Kreme Donuts for breakfast, Red, pink, and purple lunch, and a Five course family dinner.

I hope you’ll have as much fun planning activities as I do!

Esther

    What fun ideas. You always come up with great things. One year out of cardboard stock, we made heart shapes in different colors and wrote sayings you’d find on the candies. We made a banner and also scattered some on the table. Your friend Donna from Believe in Yourself Community.

    Hi-
    Love your ideas! Love the tree idea, quiet time candy, and heart shaped pizza. My kids would love this…. (especially the quiet time candy hunt) Also I’ve never made jello jigglers with mine- so I’m sure that would be a big hit! Here’s what I did with mine last week- They love Tea Parties: http://www.embracinggrace.org/2013/01/how-to-have-valentines-party-with-your.html
