Valentine's Day:

Make a trail of hearts to take your kids or spouse to their gift Valentine's morning.

Make a tradition of buying new pink or red pajamas, bake Valentine cookies or candies, or read an I I love you book together.

A special breakfast like heart shaped pancakes or going out to breakfast together is a nice way to start the day.

The I love you books make great gifts even for teenagers. You can buy an I love you book each year and tape a note on the inside that says something like "You are never too old to know that I Love You". They can collect the books over the years and pass on to their children.

A jar filled with hugs and kisses candies can be decorated for mom, dad or kids. Just add a note "Hugs and Kisses from ? because I love you". A simple inexpensive gift.  Make your own jar or buy this one

 I Love You Books - Great for Valentine's Day see below or More I love you books

 

Start a Valentine Tradition -Order the Red "You Are Special Plate" (shown below) filled with cookies, candies, or "I love you because..." notes, and set out each Valentine's Day morning for family members, or use the plate to serve dinner to a spouse or child on Valentine's Day or any "You are Special" day (birthdays, a good report card, anniversary, winning soccer goal).

Other Valentine ideas - T-shirt, sports necklace, pillowcase, all shown below. Make a trail of red shaped hearts leading from your child's bed to where the gift is.

Valentine Activity

Random Dance game. Cut out large hearts. Place them around the room. Play music and have the kids dance but NOT step on the hearts. If they step on the heart while dancing, they're out. And, when the music stops, find a heart to stand on it and freeze. You could also use the hearts to do a musical chairs type game, but instead of sitting on the chairs, find and stand on a heart (you will remove a heart each time the game is played like you do with musical chairs).

It's a New Year:

Organizing the Family:

Organize the Family Books/Products/Calendars for Organizing - Family/Kids/House - Article on Artwork - See our article "How to Save Your Child's Artwork"  

If you want children to keep their feet on the ground put some responsibility on their shoulders." Abigail Van Buren

Start out the year right. Teach kids about Money  - Responsibility & Chores:

Read books on Responsibility/Chores (every kid wants to do what their favorite character does)

Make & use chore dice (roll to see who is going to do what),

Set a timer and have races to see who gets done first.

Play lively, upbeat music during chores to keep them fun.Or clean up songs like It's Time To Clean Up or The Little Yellow Bus and Other Mostly Original Children's Songs (which has time to clean up)

Eyeball the toys on the floor, then have a scavenger hunt for those specific things (i.e. who can who can find the stuffed kitty and put him in the toy box?)

For a whiny child that doesn't want to do a chore because it's too hard, tell them," I think you are awesome and you can do it faster then me, so show me".
