Fun ideas for a kids’ Valentine’s party

January 25, 2012

Valentine’s Day is a fun, positive holiday to celebrate with kids, and a great opportunity to teach lessons about friendship and inclusion.

As we prepare for February 14th, we’ve been gathering our favorite ways to make V-Day special on Pinterest. Take a look at our Valentine’s Day inspiration board.

If you’re hosting a party, get everyone in the festive spirit by handing out themed temporary tattoos. Kids will love applying fun tattoos of hearts or candy to their cheeks or hands.

Looking for craft ideas? Help kids make homemade valentines for their parents. Other moms and dads will be happy to receive surprise cards when their kids come home.

Valentine’s Day menus can fill up quickly with sugary treats. Sprinkle in some healthy snacks like strawberries sliced like hearts and kid-approved yogurt to keep the sugar levels manageable. Trying to cut out sugar and candy completely from this year’s holiday? Pair Valentine’s cards with temporary tattoos instead of candies.

 

Check out all of our Valentine’s Day tips, from budget-friendly date night ideas to fun ways to use temporary tattoos in kids’ Valentine’s Day cards.

Add some spice to your Valentine’s date night with fun temporary tattoos

January 19, 2012

If there’s one night a year that calls for a fun, kick-up-your-heels date night, it’s Valentine’s Day. And while February 14th is a great excuse for a special night with your sweetheart, you don’t have to spend a ton of cash to make your Valentine’s Day fun.

Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year, we brainstormed a few ways to make this weeknight holiday special – without breaking the bank or requiring a ton of prep.

1. If a fancy restaurant isn’t in your weeknight budget, swap the menus and maître d’ for a cozy night at home. Shoot for a mini-splurge with a special dessert from the bakery or wine that’s a few dollars more than your standard bottle.

2. Instead of spending hours combing the racks for a perfect date-night cocktail dress, add a new punch to an existing outfit. Start with a dress that’s already in your closet and accessorize with a flirty temporary tattoo. These tattoos are practically begging to be worn out on the town (or out in your living room!).

3. Take the pressure off your significant other by putting the kibosh on Valentine’s Day gifts this year. In place of presents, put the money toward a trip you’re planning together – or, spread the love by donating to a local charity.
