Kids love Valentine’s Day. Whether it’s the candy hearts or excuse to wear red from head to toe, it’s a holiday as much for the little ones as it is for grown ups. This week we’re sharing some of our favorite ideas for kid-friendly Valentine’s Day celebrations this weekend.
1) Make Cupid Kabobs
Cut grape tomatoes diagonally, then trim small pieces of cheese for the arrow parts. Add a toothpick, and you’ve got a healthy and swoon-worthy start to the night. (We spotted this gem in Family Fun.)
3) Heart-Shaped Soup & Sandwich
Try cutting fun heart shapes in a sandwich (like our Crazy Delicious Grilled Peanut Butter sandwich) and pair it with a favorite soup. It’ll make the meal more special
5) Cupid Plate
Make any meal special with a heart-shaped arrangement. The trick is to use a shallow bowl to help maintain the shape of the heart.
6) Heart-Shaped PB&J
As easy as can be. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut a window through the top piece of bread to add a Valentine’s twist to a PB&J.
7) Have Fun With Cheese & Crackers
Put your cookie cutter to work! Cut out heart-shaped cheese and make an afternoon snack or pre-dinner appetizer more fun. (Photo from the nourishingminimalist.com)
8) Bake Valentine’s Pizza
This trick from Betty Crocker: make a heart shaped pizza by starting with 2 balls of pizza dough, then rolling into a heart shape. Everyone can help, and make the meal more fun. (If you’re starting with our Pesto & Potato Pizza, cut your ball of dough into two pieces, roll into balls and then create the heart shape.
