Baking Valentines Day cookies with your children is a great way to celebrate the holiday and spend quality time with your family.


With Valentines Day just around the corner, I plan to celebrate with my children by letting them bake cookies. I know they’ll make a huge mess, but watching them delight in this activity will be worth the extra cleaning time.

I am very particular about my children’s nutrition and dental health, so I don’t allow them to indulge in sweets too often.

We’re using store-bought cookie dough and Valentines Day cookie cutters to shape them. I intend to let my kids decorate their cookies with icing and sprinkles. This activity is a simple way to spend quality time with your family.

I’d love to hear from you. What are you doing to celebrate Valentines Day with your kids?
