10 Valentine’s Day activities to do with your toddler
The holiday time with a toddler
The holiday time is such a great moment to do some well planned, intentional activities with your toddler. However, when you work full-time and that holiday lands during the week, you need to get creative with what you do. You are limited with time, but you still want to make sure you spend good quality time with your child.
In this blog post, I will outline 10 different Valentine’s Day activities that you can do with your toddler (keeping time in mind).

If you are reading this post, it’s likely you enjoy celebrating holidays and sharing it with your family. I’ve always loved themes and immersing my son into what is going on within that month. Keep in mind that these activities can be done either in the morning before work or evening time. If you wanted, you could easily just save the activities for the weekend before or after Valentine’s Day. Up to you!
What you need for your Valentine’s Day activities
For many of these activities, you will need craft materials (paper, crayons, coloring book, markers, balloons). There are a few food based activities where you will need to have access to a local grocery store so you can pick them up. Amazon and walmart are my good friends, so everything could be found there too.
Where I could, I left links to what you could get to make life easier. Below you will find the list of activities.

Your child is simply going to love just being with you so don’t feel guilty if you can’t spend more time with them. Make the most of the time you do have together. At the end of the day, it’s always more about quality of time than quantity.
You are doing amazing, mama. Keep going!
