5 Ideas for V-Day

Make Valentine’s Day special with these fun activities.

Eat:

Serve a heart-y breakfast with heartshaped cinnamon rolls. Instead of rolling your cinnamon roll dough from one side to the other, roll it on both so each side meets in the middle to form a heart. Cut fruits using a heart-shaped cookie cutter for a fun fruit salad. Serve milk colored with red dye for a cute pink drink.

Hunt:

Challenge your kids to a scavenger hunt for Cupid’s treasure. Give them clues on a trail of paper hearts, with each clue leading to the next until they find their surprise.

Plan:

Come up with pre-planned date ideas so you’ll have me time with your significant other scheduled out for the rest of the year.

Sweet:

When it’s time for a tasty treat, serve up these cute heart shaped cookies using cookie dough, strawberry frosting and sprinkles, sugar crystals or candy pearls. After cooking cookies, spread frosting on the cookie, pressing it to another one to make a mini sandwich. Roll edges of sandwich cookies in the sprinkles. Source: pillsbury.com

Make:

Create your own fun Valentine’s Day cards by melting rainbow-colored crayons in a heart-shaped silicone muffin pan. Wrap in clear cellophane and attach handmade gift cards that say, “You color my world.”
