Valentine's day - kids edition

[heatherbee]

What are you guys doing for LO's for Valentine's Day? We are doing Mickey cards and a little Mickey treat I saw on pinterest for friends at daycare but not sure what to do for my own little guy

[junkytrunk]

I wasn't really planning on getting him anything. He doesn't need candy and it's not like he won't notice if he doesn't get anything. Maybe when he's a little older.

Not sure if I will do anything for daycare. There is only 1 other toddler and 2 babies.

[britbratjf]

I will probably get her a new coloring book (she's been really into coloring) and maybe we'll get doughnuts for breakfast. I need to come up with something for preschool because they are exchanging Valentine's. Maybe a little treat bag of stickers & suckers.

[britbratjf]

Oh, I'm also going to get her 101 Dalmatians. It comes out on DVD this week.

[heatherbee]

This is what I'm attempting to make with DS for his friends:

[heatherbee]

I like the coloring book idea! I think I will get DS some new playdoh accessories and maybe a new watercolor book. He has a finding nemo one and loves painting lately, but could use a new one.

[starfishy]

Everytime I ask T what he wants to get his friends for Valentine's Day he says "Hershey kisses!" So, I'm going to try to make little mice and do "mice to know you." I got the big Hershey kisses for his teachers.
For him, I'll probably get him a little book or something.

[rollerrink]

heatherbee - Those are adorable!!

junkytrunk - I'm not planning to get him anything either. Since DH will be working, maybe we'll go out for a special breakfast. I may get a card and a small box of chocolates for his DCP.

I picked up mickey mouse valentine's for him to pass out at school. I bought him a Planes dvd and we'll make some valentine funfetti cupcakes that I picked up at Target. The kid loves baking and he loves cupcakes do this is a for-sure win!

[origamimommy]

Tyler picked avengers valentines to pass out and I grabbed a thing of mini play doh to attach. For him I usually get him a little something, so I got him a hulk mug with kisses, coloring book, and a $5 dvd from target.

[sarahandeddie]

We got Bubble Guppies valentine's that we are taking to tumbling. I'm going to attach fruit snacks to them.

Both girls are getting a heart with the Frozen characters on it that is filled with chocolate hearts. They are also getting chocolate crayons (a tradition from my childhood). I also got them the Hallmark Valentine's day Itty bitty.

[USCgirl]

I got some minnie valentines cards to send to family. I stay at home and don't do any type of daycare or mommy and me, so we don't really have any toddler friends to give valentines to. I will give Chloe some type of treat, just haven't gotten it yet. I will probably make her some Mickey pancakes for breakfast because those are her favorite!

[xanthepants]

I got some Minnie cards with pencils for daycare ( no candy allowed). Today we made valentines for each of her teachers with foam sticky hearts and a couple for the grandmas as well. I got her an Olaf stuffed toy and a bedazzled frozen hairbrush. She'll love it. She can share my candy because H is mighty predictable.

[justbeth]

I forgot that valentine's day was coming up! Mom (and wife) of the year here. I guess I need to get busy... Womp womp womp

[sunshinetwins2012]

Since the twins go to daycare/school, I got there Valentine's together this weekend. Addie is taking the little play doh tubs with a tag that says" You make me feel "Squishy" inside." Adam is taking in little bubbles with a tag that says, "You Blow me Away." I got their teacher and aid a bag of Hershey kisses and will out them in a jar with a tag that says something about a jar full kisses just for you.

I got them a tiny little heart (those ones that have like 3 pieces of candy in it) and a small toy: Addie- the Valentine Barbie doll (little sister ones) from Target, and Adam four hotwheels cars. They love to help me bake too. So I also got the funfetti valentine mix and icing to make little cupcakes with them.

[MissMusic]

Nothing tooooo big. We are going to a small party with local kiddie friends this week.

Lillian made a little bead necklace (kit from Michaels, super cheap and totally worth it) with hearts and stuff on it. She's making daddy a card and she'll get a few small individually wrapped chocolates.

Lillian & DH also went to a V-Day themed daddy/daughter date night put on in our town, and that was great fun for both of them.

[summergirl1211]

The kids at daycare exchange Valentines so I just grabbed some Mickey cards to give out along with little packs of fruit snacks. Besides sharing some of the King cake we're getting we aren't going to do anything else for Riley. She has enough stuff and I'm sure both sets of grandparents will get her a little something.

[britbratjf]

Well I went to Target this morning & figured out the preschool Valentine's. I'm doing treat bags with 2 bags of heart shaped fruit snacks, a sucker & a sheet of stickers.

[laurski81]

Henry doesn't go to daycare so I don't have to worry about sending Valentine's with him anywhere...

I did buy two loveys from MM, the Ana and Elsa ones, so my niece will get one of those for Valentine's Day and I will most likely also pick her up a Valentine's Day book and throw in some fun-sized M&Ms packets. I'll give her the other lovey when her brother is born so I have something to give her when I am giving a gift to the new baby.

I was going to get Henry a couple of new books, some M&Ms, and was going to bake a Valentine's Day cake we could all share. The way to that kid's heart is through sweets

[cookiesandwine]

I got Bubble Guppies Valentine's for her to take to daycare and hand out to our family. No candy attached because I'm mean and cheap.

She's getting some new LeapPad games and a Frozen swimsuit but the games are here already and the suit won't be for a while (zulily) so I got her her own chapstick and we're calling it a day.

[ladyofshallott86]

Em's not getting anything. She doesn't even know what Valentine's Day is. And also she doesn't go to day care so there's no need for her to give valentines. Though I may have her make a valentine to teach her about it and to give her something to do. I personally don't celebrate it. So we won't be doing anything either.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

I haven't really thought about it yet... he doesn't go to school, maybe we'll do a small valentine to give his cousins on Friday?

I was planning on getting him a cupcake from Crumbs on my way home from work Friday night (OMG, they're amazing. just go look at their website), and maybe do heart pancakes on Saturday morning.

[aylafsu1881]

I got LO some Peeps and a card for valentines day. Her DC has a party and the parents have to bring stuff. I will sign up to bring mini cupcakes or cookies.
I am giving her teachers little boxes for chocolates. Not sure if I will do individual valentines for her class. I think the party is enough and they are still to young to get it.

[roo1582]

Kayleigh won't be at DC do their V-Day party but I'm sending in some Doc Mcstuffins cards and a little baggy of smarties and rice crispie treats for each of the kids

[huskiefanuw]

She's not getting anything, I thought about it but then never actually did it. She's getting a night with her Grandparents as me and Dh go up to Vancouver to a concert.

[vanessalc]

I don't even know if Cooper's school does anything for valentines day. I was going to have H ask at drop off today, but go figure, we got another foot of snow!
I hadn't really thought about a gift. Should probably get on that.

[mightybee]

Nothing from us to him. I'm sure my mom will send him something small in the mail.

I made some thumbprint Valentine cards for his preschool class since I'm too cheap to buy some. They came out really cute and I might have just ignited my crafting fire.

We are doing the same bubbles idea! I just picked them up yesterday and today I'm going to print the labels here at work. He's only one of twelve kids at his daycare so I thought it would be fun to do something other than just the traditional valentines card.

heatherbee I made those for Juno's bday party but whith just one m&m on top. They are delicious!! Super addicting and so easy, everyone loved them! Mickey version is adorable!

I only have the nanny's little girl to get something for and I'm stopping after work today to get stuff, thanks for the above ideas!!
