The thing I love the most about this chocolate bark is that you can use whatever you have around the house, or add special Valentine’s Day sprinkles. Kids will love being able to use their creativity to create yummy chocolate bark.

I saw this little guy and instantly knew I needed to make him! Kids will love creating these yummy strawberry friends. Seriously, every time I look at him, I giggle. Kids can be creative with how many pretzels and marshmallows they add. Endless possibilities.

Baking is a popular activity in our house. And we have made sourdough poptarts and they turn out really yummy. But I couldn’t pass up sharing these adorable heart-shaped hand pies. These sweet little things are pretty simple to make, especially if your kids are a little bit older.
Cherry Blossom Cookies

We do a similar version of these cherry blossom cookies at Christmas, and my kids love to put the kisses in at the end. I love this modified version from the peanut butter version, because they’re perfect for Valentine’s Day with kids.

How cute is this activity for Valentine’s Day with kids! This is great for elementary-age kiddos who can write, but you can also write things down for the littlest family members who can’t spell yet. This is the type of thing I would do each year and then hold onto all of them.
Salt Dough Conversation Hearts

Salt dough is one of my favorite crafts. When each of my kids was little, we did salt dough hand and footprints, and they’re one of my favorite treasures.
These salt-dough conversation hearts are adorable, and I love the colors.
Dancing Candy Hearts

I am not a huge fan of these things, so I am glad someone found a good use for them! Ha! But seriously, I love the science lesson that comes out of this fun activity for Valentine’s Day with kids. It’s great for your little ones to watch, but the science behind it is a great lesson for your older kiddos.
Heart Sun Catcher

If you’re looking for an easy Valentine’s Day craft for kids, look no further. With some contact paper and tissue paper, viola, you have this cute little heart sun catcher.
Concentric Heart Art

Although easy to do, this art project is likely going to be easier with older kids rather than your littles. You also need a variety of supplies, so make sure you check her list before jumping in. But this makes a super cool activity for Valentine’s Day with kids.
When all else fails, and you need to grab a completely prepared Valentine’s Day craft, you can always buy a kit and have it delivered to your door! This Valentine’s Day craft kit has a variety of foam hearts and a bunch of fun decorations!
