Making Valentine's Day Memories with Kids and Frugal Decor

It is important to create special memories with children on Valentine’s Day, and a fun, inexpensive way to do this is to decorate the house together. With a few simple supplies, decorations can be made that are meaningful, festive and budget-friendly.

Get creative with the kiddos this year! Make their experience really stand out!

One fun way to decorate for Valentine’s Day is to make a special banner. Start by gathering supplies like string, colored cardstock, scissors, and fabric markers. Find an inspirational message or inspirational quote related to love and write it on one end of the banner. Then, have each kid cut hearts from the cardstock that can be used to decorate the banner. This is a great way for kids to be creative and express themselves. Once the banner is completed, hang it across a window, above the fireplace, or wherever it will be seen for the season.

Another idea is to do a craft project with the kids to make a festive centerpiece. Gather a few supplies, like a mason jar, craft paint and brushes, contact paper, scissors, and ribbon. Cut contact paper into festive shapes, like hearts and Cupids arrows, and use the paint to color the mason jar. Once the jar is dry, attach the contact paper shapes and ribbon embellishments. Fill the jar with Valentine candy and small conversation hearts. Place the jar on the dinner table, nightstand, or mantel to add a special Valentine’s Day touch to the home.

Centerpiece Valentine's Decor!

For a cozy and inviting atmosphere, pick up some small, battery powered string lights and allow the kids to arrange them in the form of a Valentine. Place the string lights in a heart shape anywhere in the home. The lights will last far beyond Valentine’s Day and make a great addition to the décor.

Finally, for a touching way to show love and appreciation, a handmade Valentine’s Day card is a great option. All you need are some construction paper, markers, glitter, and glue. Work together with the kids to create a Card that is covered with hearts, cupids, and a special message.
