- Make your own personal Valentines cheques. Love cheques tend to be a bit saucy and devoted to adults. Well, your kids can make their own age-appropriate ones. Print out some mock up kid’s cheques (you can find a print out here) and they can fill it in with little favors for the family: “I promise to do all my chores all week”, “I owe Mom a big hug”, for example.

- Valentine Pails are a good way to use up old magazines or damaged children’s book that would otherwise be thrown away. Get your kids set up and let them design one to fill with Valentine goodies.

- Get baking! This is the perfect opportunity to let your kids take over the kitchen. Try these easy Valentine Sandwich Cookies, Pope’s Valentine Cookies, and last of all a Be-Mine Pizza!
