Say I Love You with Fun Gifts for Valentines Day
Submitted by Childn’Parent Blog
“I love you” should be something a child hears everyday. In this world of hustle and bustle, parents often forget how meaningful those three little words are. Valentines Day is a wonderful reminder for parents and children to say I love you again and again. And what better way to start than with a fun homemade Valentine gift that your child can enjoy all the year through.
Valentine Coupon Dates with Mom and Dad
The most important thing to a child is time; your time. Nothing is better than sitting down with Mom or Dad to read a story, play a game, enjoy a movie or have some one on one conversation. Make some Valentine “time” coupons that your child can turn in for a special date with Mom or Dad. Specify on each coupon what fun activity you would like to do with your child and include two or three “Your Choice” coupons so your child can have a turn picking the activity. When things get busy and your child is in need of some loving attention, a turned in coupon can remind parents to slow down and take time for what really matters.
I Love You Valentine Jar
Saying I love you throughout the New Year is easy with the I love You Valentine Jar.
For this gift you will need:
1 glass canning jar
1 canning jar lid with screw band
Small piece of material large enough to cover the top of the lid
One half of 8X11 paper sheet cut into 12 strips
Felt tip marker or penUsing the pen, write one quality that you love about your child on each of the 12 strips of paper. For example: “I love your smiling face.” Fold the strips and put them into the canning jar. Cover the lid with the material and screw on the band over the lid and material. For an extra special touch, decorate the outside of the jar with cute stickers. Let your child know that for each month they can pick out one “I love you strip” and read it. Have your child post the strips somewhere in their room so that they can be reminded of your love throughout the year.By Debby Hoffer
