4. Collage Hearts: Crafty Valentine’s Day Party Idea
In addition to fun food hacks, I love having crafts and kids’ activities for our family parties, so these collage hearts are perfect and low prep!
Firstly, set out heart-shaped paper, glue sticks, and colorful scraps for a simple craft. Then kids can layer and decorate vibrant hearts to display or take home.
5. Doily Heart Envelope Pouches: Sweet Surprises
Start with doilies. Then, fold heart-shaped doilies along the sides and top of the heart. As can be seen below, this creates cute envelopes that you can then secure with tape. Afterwards, fill them with small treats or notes and seal with a sticker for instant party favors. This is both fun and easy!
6. DIY Giant Coloring Page
Not only is this adorable as a kids activity, but this DIY Giant Coloring Page doubles as a tablecloth for the kids table. Lay a large sheet of butcher paper, draw bold images in black markers, and then set out markers for kids to decorate. Invite kids to add both their own doodles and to color in the pre-drawn outlines—a calming, creative activity.
