Valentine's Gifts For Kids

Although generally considered a day for couples, it's important to remember the little ones on Valentines Day. After all, many kids exchange Valentines at school and in social groups. And on a day that celebrates love, it's always nice to show your child just how much you care.

Share a creative Valentines craft with your child via Made By Hands' Make Your Own Valentine Cards set. Designed for children older than 3 years, this special, travel-size Valentines kit allows parents and kids to create 10 large Valentines, custom-designed for family and friends. Of special note is the fact that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this product will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

More creative Valentines Day fun can be made with Alex Toys Heart and Crafts, a comprehensive craft set that allows children over age 3 to craft special heart-shaped items that would make ideal Valentines gifts for friends and family, or for themselves. This set comes with 25 projects that involve card making, scrapbooking, sewing, embroidery and beading. It includes materials and easy-to-follow instructions that enable a child to make a stuffed bear, treasure box, brooch, a heart garland and more; all with 'heart-rendering' designs. And Alex Toys Heart and Crafts comes in a printed heart-shaped keepsake box; a colorful reminder of all the fun.

A fun Valentines gift for the young-and young at heart-is the 24 Itty Bitty Miniature VALENTINE/HEART Rubber Ducks/DUCKIES/NEW/2 DOZEN/Sweetheart/LOVE set available on Amazon.Com through the Oriental Trading Co. These adorable little ducklings make for ideal children's Valentine gifts, as well as Valentines Day party favors and cupcake toppers. White, pink, red and adorned with heart-shaped designs, each duck measures 1-1/2"L x 1-1/4"W; perhaps more importantly, they don't squeak or quack, making them much beloved by parents and teachers seeking a quiet Valentines toy.
