Packing your child a special lunch for Valentine’s Day complete with heart shaped sandwiches, fruit, or goodies will make their Valentine’s Day memorable! I’m all about using heart shaped cookie cutters for sandwiches, cheese, fruit…or cookies, of course :).

Or for your little guy (or girl) how about some Valentine’s Slime? Make a batch ahead and store it in a jar. Bring it out after-school for some slime fun! (You totally don’t need 12 of these jars but I adore these jars for so many things and keep them on hand.)

Keep this Valentine’s Day about time and fun with your kids…not candy and sweets. Set aside time to play and laugh with your people. That, after all, is how love is truly shown.
