I absolutely love my holidays, and I have some super cute Valentines day ideas for kids. Valentines day is one of my favorite holidays and I think it’s largely due to the colors. I love the pinks and red and so does Riley, which of course makes it ten times the fun.
With Riley in a preschool that has a strict policy on bringing in homemade foods, I’ve taken to creating cute holiday themed characters from fruit cups. For Christmas we had Reindeer, while this Halloween we had Frankensteins because last year was Pumpkins. It only seemed appropriate that we have Love Bug Fruit Cups as a great Valentines day idea for kids.
Our Love Bug Fruit Cups are just one of the great Valentines day ideas for kids and are so cute. It took me a total of 20 minutes to make 12 of these for Riley’s class. The supplies that you need are:
- Valentines Day Ideas for Kids – Love Bug Fruit Cups Supplies for 12 kids
- 12 Dole Pineapple in Sugar Free Strawberry Gel Fruit Cups
- 12 Sparkle Pipe Cleaners cut in half to make 24
- 1.3″ Pom Poms for ends of Pipe Cleaners
- 12 1/2″ Pom Poms for nose
- 24 Assorted colors and size of Googley Eyes
- 2 Pink Foam Sheet for heart shaped feet to create 24 heart shaped feet
- 4 Hot glue sticks & Gun
For these Valentines Day ideas for kids I free handed our hearts for our feet because I happened to already have pink foam leftover from our Bunny Tail Mix Push Pops. The Bunny Push Pops are from when Riley was in daycare and I was able to make homemade foods for the children at daycare. We also have a Lucky Pop Breakfast with free printable that is super cute and easy for St. Patrick’s day, which gets me excited about my St. Patrick’s Day fruit cup. Think lots of colors. Squeal! Back to the task at hand though. Valentines Day ideas for kids that’ll make you look like mom of the year. Sorry! Instead of free handing the foam hearts, you could always purchase pre-cut foam hearts as well.
