Have you ever looked through the cards your kids bring home and counted four Mickey Mouses, five Paw Patrols, and enough Barbies to fill an entire dreamhouse? Unless you share this link with other moms in your kids’ classes (which, of course, we’d love!), the cards your kids bring to school will be one-of-a-kind. It’s so sweet to celebrate Valentine’s Day, so do it with iMOM’s signature style of simplicity and playfulness.

Not only do Valentine’s Day cards for kids make it fun for your children to tell their friends they’re special, but they’re also a sneaky way to get kids to work on penmanship. You can gently remind your child, “If you want her to know this one’s from you, you’ll have to write your name clearly!”

If you have bigger kids, our Valentine’s Day gift tags might be more their speed. Print them out, punch a hole, and attach them to gifts or candy bags. You could even attach one to your gift to your husband.

The festivities don’t have to stop at the card exchange. Send your little loves on a hunt for something sweet with our Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt, or tell them why you love them in 14 different ways with our Countdown to Love printable. And lest we forget that Valentine’s Day should involve some romance, here are 19 ways to celebrate with your husband. 

What’s your favorite way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your kids?

Just put them in the right spots and watch your little hunters run and squeal with excitement. We promise they’ll feel your love and give it right back.

Then cut it out and attach it to the page. By February 14th, they’ll be bursting with love (these work on husbands, too)! If you’re starting a little late, no worries. There’s never a deadline on a mom’s love.

But you don’t have to wait until February 14th. Sweeten your kids up with messages of affection in the days before, and by the time Valentine’s Day has arrived, they’ll be on Cloud 9 with Cupid! These are perfect for elementary kids, but don’t forget about your tweens and teens. Our simple valentine lunchbox notes will make this year’s holiday even more special by reminding your kids that they’re always loved by you and always will be!

So keep them in a secret (but handy) place, and after lunch is packed, grab your scissors and cut out the note that you think will bring a smile to your child’s face. You could even print the notes on adhesive paper and stick one right on the plastic wrap around your kiddo’s PB&J sandwich or to the outside of a classic brown bag. We promise—our valentine lunchbox notes will take a brown bag from drab to delightful! And don’t be afraid to take the pink and red cuteness we’ve created and add your own personal touches.

Mom, you have no idea how important your words are to your child. Something as simple as a note is a powerful way to communicate love. We have so many more free lunchbox notes, including other holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. We also have everyday notes designed specifically for boys or girls and even highschoolers.

You will need:

• Printer
• Printer Paper
• Pencil or Pen
• Candy Conversation Hearts (50 individual hearts)

(If you don’t have candy hearts, you can use other small Valentine candies or chocolate chips!)

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes

#1: Getting Ready                                                                                          

• Print out your list of Valentine’s Family Game Show questions. But don’t let your kids see them! 
• Next, look over the instructions, start the game, and love well! (P.S.  If you’ve ever heard of that old TV game show, The Newlywed Game, this family game show is a lot like that one!)
• Then, give each person plenty of blank paper and a pen or pencil for writing their answers.

#2: Sweet Talk

• Gather everyone together as you pour your candy hearts (or other candies) into a bowl.
• While you do that, tell your children that one way to show love is to take an interest in what brings others joy. By learning this, your children will know how to brighten their siblings’ and parents’ day.

#3: Begin the Game!

• One person, the first contestant, will leave the room and go to a place where they can’t hear what the others are saying.
• While that person is gone, another will act as the Master or Mistress of Ceremonies (MC) and read the questions.
• The MC will read the first question for Contestant One.
• Each player will write a number 1 and then write their answer on a sheet of paper.
• The MC will then read the second question for Contestant One.
• Each player, using a fresh sheet of paper, will write a number 2 and then write their answer.
• The MC will read the third question and the players will follow the answering step above.
• Once the three questions are completed, the person who left the room returns.
• Now the MC asks the questions again, with Contestant One giving his or her answers.
• After each question, the players hold up the piece of paper with their answer so everyone can see who got it right.
• Each player takes a candy heart from the bowl for each response they guessed right.
• Another player becomes the MC and another contestant leaves the room. Follow this pattern until everyone has a turn to be the contestant.

#4: Declare the Winners!

• After the last person has taken a turn, everyone counts their candy hearts. The person with most is declared the winner.

#5: Candy Hugs

• For added fun, take turns having each person read aloud the sayings on their candy hearts. (You might want to prescreen them, just in case.)
• Before you leave the game room, everyone gives each other a hug and says one thing they learned that brings each other joy.

Some Final Thoughts…

• By this time, you will have shared some laughs and fostered kindness in your family. We noticed that the children really loved learning new things about each other too!
• To encourage even more thinking about how to learn to love others well, check out the links below.
• Take the Love Language Quiz. There’s one for kids and grown-ups. This fun quiz determines what communicates love for each member of your family.
• Secret Pal Surprise Ideas. Cute printables you can print and place in a jar for your children to choose from to show love to their siblings.
