Snotty Noses Happy Parents Raising Healthy Kids by Dr Orlena Kerek, Paediatrician

Valentine’s Day is one of my favourite days of the year. I have to confess, I like to keep it low key. We don’t do chocolates, candy or going out for expensive meals but I do love the idea of telling your partner and family that you love them and appreciate them.

It can be so easy to take our family for granted. It’s so easy to forget to say “I love you”. It’s such a simple little thing but it can make such a big difference to their day.

I want my children to get into the habit of telling people, their friends and family that they love them, both in words and with gestures.

Here are some awesome, easy Valentine crafts that your kids can do to tell their family and friends that they are loved.
