Toddler Valentines Day Crafts!

As I have had both kids home this week for half term we decided to have a go at some toddler/child friendly valentines craft ideas. All of the below we attempted ourselves and they were all simple to do. Some were quite messy so be prepared for some mess and perhaps lay an old sheet or plenty of newspaper down before hand.

Here are some of the valentines crafts we had a go at this week -

Love Bug Valentines cards

These were really simple to make just paint most of the foot red and leave the heel of the foot, paint the heel of the foot black for the bugs head. Carefully place your childs foot on to the card and hold for a few seconds. For smaller children an adult can add in the legs and eyes etc, older children can do this themselves. Then just add your message on to the back. 

Valentines heart shaped cookies

If your kids love baking then they will love making these simple cookies (I used a basic shortbread recipe). Let them get their hands messy helping mix the biscuit dough and then once baked and cooled let them decorate. We used a basic red icing and then the kids went wild with the sprinkles and decorations!

"Love" Canvas picture

This is a lovely idea that can be displayed all year around. We purchased a basic canvas and I painted on the L and E. I thought it would be a lovely idea to have both kids involved in the same picture so James provide the hand print O and Evelyn's feet provided the V. It was really simple to do once you can get the kids to stay still (I would recommend purchasing a back up canvas lol!). We added some glitter to the paint whilst it was still a little wet for an added sparkle. 

Do you have any fun Valentines themed crafts you do with your toddler/children? I would to hear your ideas!

Valentines gift ideas from Toxic Fox.

I have to admit when it comes to relationships Im not exactly the lovely dovey type (much to my husbands disappointment lol!). So when it comes down to Valentines day I never have a clue what to buy and my partner never has a clue what to buy for me either! 

In my search for Valentines gifts I recently came across the website toxicfox.co.uk. Toxic Fox sell unique and personalised gifts for all occasions.

The "cheap" section of valentines gifts on the website is fantastic! If like me as I mentioned above you are not overly romantic then this if the section for you. Plus as we are currently saving up for a holiday so neither of us wanted to spend a huge amount of gifts. All the gifts are under £20 so you can browse without fear of over spending. 

Here are some of the other gifts we loved the look of in the cheaper valentines section.
