Kids love celebrating, no matter what the occasion. Here are some meal ideas that will help make Valentine's Day extra special for you and your little one.
Breakfast- This one is as easy as adding an extra ingredient to your pancake mix- food coloring. A few drops of red(to make pink),or some red and blue(for purple) will spruce up your special breakfast from yum to YUMMMMM!!!! Add fruit and whipped cream on top for an added touch(Alex loves strawberries). If you don't want to use food coloring, take a heart-shaped cookie cutter to your finished pancakes. These tiny little touches mean the world to kids!
Lunch- Our favorite Valentine's lunch is as simple as sandwiches! Make your child's favorite sandwich, and use a heart shaped cookie cutter and make adorable heart sandwiches! I always take the extra pieces for myself! Serve it with a nice glass of strawberry milk(pink for V-Day).
Dinner- Let your child pick his or her FAVORITE dinner. Decorate the table with all the hearts that you can. Buy confetti(if your child is old enough to not try and eat it) and scatter it around the table. Cut out paper hearts and on each one put a reason why you love your child. You can read them to your child as they eat. Also, encourage your child to talk about who he or she loves, and what makes that person special to them.
These ideas may seem cheesy, or boring to you, but you would be surprised at how much this will mean to your little ones!
Awesome advice, ideas, recipes, and crafts for you and your kids!
