Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show a little extra love to your kids with thoughtful goodies. As a mom of four, I’ve always enjoyed putting together special Valentine’s Day treats for my family. From babies to teens, this ultimate Valentine Goodie guide has ideas for kids of every age.
Even the littlest ones can feel the love on Valentine’s Day. Soft plush toys, board books, and bath toys are perfect. (Consider “Snuggle Puppy” – it was a family favorite for toddlers at our house.) Add a fun new pair of pajamas or a plush toy. Stickers and toddler-friendly snacks like a valentine cookies from your favorite bakery will also make them smile.
Valentine Goodies for Preschool Girls
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to surprise your preschool girl with sweet and thoughtful gifts she’ll adore. Consider a cute new shirt or sweater with hearts or fun designs—practical and festive! Add in small toys like a stuffed animal, a playset, or colorful building blocks to spark her imagination. Don’t forget a touch of Valentine’s candy, like heart-shaped gummies or a small box of chocolates, to make her day extra special. These simple yet thoughtful gifts are sure to bring a big smile to her little face!
Valentine Goodies for Preschool Boys
Valentine’s Day is a fun opportunity to treat your preschool boy to gifts that feel exciting and special. A cool new shirt or sweater with a fun pattern or playful design makes a great addition to his wardrobe. Pair it with small toys like a mini car, a puzzle, or action figures. Of course don’t forget the Valentine’s candy, like a lollipop or heart-shaped chocolates, for a sweet treat he’ll love. These simple gifts are perfect for making his Valentine’s Day full of smiles and joy!
Girls in this age group love crafts and colorful treats. Try themed activity sets, jewelry-making kits, or heart-shaped notebooks. Stickers, cute hair accessories, and cozy socks are always a hit. If they love reading, add a sweet book with a Valentine theme.
Boys at this age will enjoy small toys, outdoor games, or LEGO sets in Valentine colors. Art supplies like markers and sketchpads are fun and practical. A pack of festive pencils or a sports-themed goodie is another great option.
Tweens can be tricky, but they’ll love practical gifts like cool water bottles, small tech accessories, or fun desk items. Snacks are always a win—include something chocolate or heart-shaped for a festive touch.
For tweens, think trendy but useful. A cute new duffle bag, nail polish, or a fun bracelet in Valentine colors are perfect ideas. Journals or heart-themed jewelry can also add a sweet touch to their day.
Teen boys may seem uninterested, but small surprises still go a long way. Gift cards, stylish pullovers, or a new book or game are fun and also practical ideas. Add in their favorite candy to keep it festive.
Teen girls love thoughtful, pretty items. Try makeup pouches, mini skincare sets, or cozy accessories like scarves. Include a handwritten card or favorite chocolates for a personal touch.
Valentine’s Day is a chance to remind your kids how loved they are. Special goodies can make the day unforgettable. Whether you go big or keep it simple, these ideas will help you to find something that makes your child feel celebrated.
