Valentine's Day hearts

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with Kids

I love making fun memories with our kids.  This year I decided to go bigger with our family Valentine’s Day celebration by starting the fun in the morning before the kids went to school.

I kept seeing cute “heart attack” ideas on Pinterest and decided to go with it.  Last night I cut out lots of hearts from colored copy paper. There were big hearts, medium hearts, and little confetti-sized hearts.

The bigger hearts were for their doorways. I taped them on pieces of yarn to greet the kids when they got up in the morning.  Valentine's Day hearts

The small hearts went on the table alongside individual bags of goodies with some little gifts. Valentine's Day heart attack

For breakfast I baked heart-shaped chocolate chip muffins.  It’s not the healthiest meal before school, but it was a fun way to start the day.

I bought the silicone muffin cups from a school fundraising catalog a couple of years ago, but Amazon has a similar heart muffin silicone mold baking pan.

Everybody loved their “heart attack” Valentine’s Day morning!

Wishing you a great Valentine’s Day as well!  How do you celebrate with your kids?
