Looking for a fun Valentines day activity with your toddler? Here are my favorite easy Valentines Day crafts for toddlers!
Valentines Day is one of those smaller holidays that as an adult you don’t really pay much attention to, but once you have kids, it’s fun to go all out for!
I love turning holidays like this into full month long celebrations, to make it into a full season that kids will love!
One way to do that is with some fun Valentines Day crafts for kids!
There are lots of craft ideas for kids out there, but I have found that toddlers really need their own crafts and projects.
If your kids are anything like mine, they have a short attention span and everything goes in the mouth.
So, I rounded up some simple crafts they can help with, scribble on, or glue things down for a few minutes, and then roll off their chair and run away from you.
