If you're looking for additional materials, check out my printable activity packs below. And here are some other awesome ways to celebrate the holiday!
Recipes for kids
- Rosita's Strawberry Cream Cheese Tortilla Wraps - these are easy and fun to make. A nod to Sesame Street's Rosita, who was the inspiration behind this recipe a few years ago!
- Valentine’s Day Brownie Hearts for Kids - my friend Melanie over at ModernMami.com has this fast and easy recipe to make with kids using a store-bought brownie mix and decorative extras.
- Strawberry Horchata Fast, Easy and Delicious - I also love this recipe from Mama Latina Tips! It would be a perfect drink for Valentine's Day. Silvia also has these recipes for a Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie and Neapolitan Crepes (oh my gosh!).
