Kids Valentines Party

Kids Valentines Party Ideas & Decorations

Decorating for a Valentine's Day party couldn't be easier...the color of the day is RED! It's impossible to have to much red at a Valentine's Day party! Throw in some pink and white for fun and that's all the color you need.

Purchase Valentine's Day themed party supplies such as red plates, cups, napkins and tablecloths.
Decorate with red, white and pink balloons and streamers. Be sure to have a few heart shaped balloons.
Centerpieces can be as simple as boxes of heart shaped chocolates and balloons. Scatter Conversation candy (the candy with the messages that say "Be Mine", "Hug Me") on the table and your done.
Cut out hearts of varying sizes from red construction paper and hang from the ceiling or tape to the walls. Feel free to write versus' such as "Be My Valentine", "I Love You", "Sweetheart", etc. on the hearts.

Kids Valentine's Party Favors

Goody Bag Ideas - Use empty chocolate boxes as your goodie bag. Put stickers, a chocolate bar, heart shaped candies or heart shaped cookies inside.

Valentine's Party Games For Kids

My Heart

Prior to the party designate an area for crafts and provide large construction paper hearts for the children to decorate.
Provide decorating supplies such as stickers, glitter, ribbon, beads, glue. Have the children decorate their own valentine heart.

Find a Heart

Prior to the party cut out small paper hearts or use heart shaped candy (wrapped).
Hide the hearts around the party area and have the children search for the hearts.
The child that finds the most hearts wins.
For a twist to this game write a type of candy on each paper heart. Each child gets whatever candy is written on the hearts they collect.

Count the Kisses

Fill a jar with Hershey Kisses.
At the start of the party have the children write down a guess as to how many kisses are in the jar (be sure to have them put their name on their guess).
The child that comes closest without going over wins. Announce the winner at the end of the party.

Tower of Hearts

You will need conversation hearts (the little candy hearts that have writing on them).
Have 2 to 4 children compete at a time. Give the children a certain amount of time to build towers using the hearts (45 seconds is good).
Whoever builds the tallest tower wins.

Matchmaker

To prepare for this game cut out small hearts. Choose matches and write 1/2 of each pair on a heart. For example peanut butter and jelly is a pair.
You would write peanut butter on one heart and jelly on another heart. Other examples of pairs are ham and cheese, cake and ice cream, Romeo and Juliet, Bert and Ernie.
To play the game mix up all the hearts and then put them in a pile for the children to search through. Tell them to find the pairs.
The child that finds the most pairs wins.
