Valentine’s Day Mash Up – Crafts
Holiday Fabric Garland – this is a Halloween one, but all you need to do is change the fabric and it is good for any holiday or occasion.
Yarn Wrapped Cardboard Hearts – from Crafty Morning. This would be a super fun and easy craft for littles to do with you. Put them in a glass jar or in a bowl and they make a fun decoration.
Popsicle Stick Valentine Frame – from One Crazy Ride. I plan on doing this with my kiddos this year. To be honest I think I will just pull out the paints and let them paint it how they want. 🙂
Rock Painting – This is not a new idea, but it sure can be a cute one. All you need it some rocks, paint brushes, and paint. The ideas are endless of what to paint. But in case you need some inspiration…
- hearts
- love bugs
- fingerprint hearts
- red, pink, or purple shapes and desgins
- conversation hearts

Valentine’s Day Mash Up – Treats
Yes! We are to the treat part! Yum Yum!
Cake Cookies I have mentioned many times before that I’m not the best cookie maker. However, these cake cookies are always a win. They are easy, very versitle, and yummo!

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries – from The Inspriation Edit. What would a Valentine’s Day Mash Up be without chocolate covered straberries?
Other Ideas
Books! We love holiday books around our house. I have orderd some Valentine’s Day books from my first grader’s book order. It will be a surprise to my kiddos.
We have a fabric tub in our living room where we kepp holiday books. My kids love it, which makes my heart happy.
Gifts – This is a wonderful time to think about those you love. You don’t have to give gifts at this time but it’s always fun to give and recieve. Eddy and I usually go on a date and give each other cards, we normally don’t do gifts.
But if you are in the mood for some gifts for your love, below are some that won’t break the budget.
Thanks for joining me in my Valentine’s Day mash up. I hope you got some good ideas for crafts, activities, treats, and gifts. Happy Valentine’s Day!
