Use food coloring in foods. It’s super easy to add a few drops of red food coloring to everything from milk and pancake batter, to mashed potatoes. Brightly colored foods can really bring the theme together for Valentine’s Day.
Cut food into heart shapes. Using cookie cutters as molds you can make heart shaped eggs, sandwiches, fruit and more. This is super fun for eating as finger food and dipping in sauces, salad dressings and dips.
Simple paper construction paper hearts hanging from the ceiling. Grab your pink, white and red construction or craft paper and make simple hearts. Write love notes on them and leave at their place settings, or hole punch them and hang them from the ceiling. Cheap, easy and fun they pull together the Valentine’s Day decorations or kids theme you want.
Use red, pink and white candles throughout the house. You probably already have red, white and pink candles in your home. Now is the time to make those your centerpiece and draw attention to their color. Use simple costume jewelry red or silver beads to wrap around the candle holders for a bit of color and sparkle.
Leave notes on their mirror in lipstick. Grab a $1 tube of bright red lipstick at your local discount store and use it to write love notes on your mirrors to the kids.

I normally don’t even bother decorating for Valentine’s Day other than putting out some placemats, but I love all of your fun ideas.
Thanks for sharing these cute ideas! I’m always looking for new ways to decorate for any holiday.
I love your ideas. We don’t do anything for Valentine’s Day because it’s also my nephew’s birthday and then our anniversary 2 weeks later.
Oh, I like that lipstick idea 🙂 That could work for husbands, too! LOL
These are all such cute ideas! January and February tend to have alot of snow days so these would be great to keep on hand!
Every year Cupid comes and visits my girls on Valentine’s Day. He brings a lot of treats and then I try and pack red and pink items in their lunch boxes.
I used to pack heart shaped sandwiches in my kids’ lunches on Valentine’s Day. They always thought it was so neat.
Food coloring is always a good thing to keep around for holidays. Construction paper hearts sound super cute!
What some sweet ideas – I love the little love notes with lipstick idea. x
These are great ideas! Love the idea of decorating for Valentine’s Day!
I haven’t decorated for Valentine’s Day since my kids were little, but these are some awesome ideas. Maybe I should think about decorating this year.
So fun. My kids love Valentine’s crafts. We will have to do some of these. Can’t wait, it’d actually my favorite holiday for crafting!
Cutting my kids food into heart shapes would be a hit in my home. There are so many things you could do!
will totally do your idea of the red and white candles. The lipstick note is also clever
These ideas are so cute! Now I want to go out and get a heart shaped cookie cutter for their food haha!
We love cutting our food into shapes. I think these other ideas are great too.
Cute ideas! We need a fun and easy project to do together.
These are such fun ideas. My kids would love to wake up with some red pancakes! 🙂
I put little heart stickers on their sandwich bags , ha . My girls like it my son, well I put a cool little darth vadar in his bag attacking a heart sandwich . LOL he likes that much better
I really reallllly like simple ideas like this. Kids are so easy to please when it comes to crafting so there’s no need to go full out to try to come up with something big.
What a cute idea! Kids will love doing this
We have hung hearts from the ceiling and it was a great project. I’d definitely do it again this year.
Very sweet little decorations that any kid would enjoy.
Aw, I like the lipstick tip. And you’re right, you can pick a cheap-o tube up at the dollar store. Best to tell the kids though, that the expensive lipstick is off limits. 😉
I remember the days of counting out tons of hearts from construction paper. Pink. Purple. Red. Sometimes blue or green. Then I would gather lace and glue it around the edges. I thought I was such a designer then!
In our house Valentines day is all about the kids. So this is very much needed. Super cute!
These are fun ways to add a little fun. I like the food coloring idea.
This is truly something really fun to do for kids!
I love the idea of writing on their mirror with lipstick. Only knowing my kid he would look at me like I have 10 heads and probably roll his eyes for being cheesy!
These are all simple and also frugal. We are big fans of the paper hearts around here.
Valentine’s Day has always been a holiday I kinda skipped over (as far as decorations), but you’re right, there are so many easy ways to make it fun!
These are some great suggestions. I’m all about heart shaped everything for the kids, it’s fun and they really enjoy it.
