Valentine Activities for 4 kids of:2,4,7,&10?
I’m babysitting tomorrow and I have gone on Family Fun to find activities to do with the kids. But I can’t really keep their attention for very long. We cook, play games, color, and do crafts. Any other ideas? Thanks!
Go to your store and buy some pottery thingys you can paint.
The children can spend an 1-2 hours painting pottery. It can be
a piggy bank or a plate or a bowl or a tea set. What ever.
You can let them bake, and have pink or red icing.
Have little candies. Have sprinkles. Let them "design" and
eat a cupcake.
Get those "SweetHeart" candies. Get a poster and make a outline of
a huge heart. Put the SweetHearts on the line and glue them.
Now put SweetHearts inside the heart.
Once it is filled in, it is artwork.
Make bracelets. Get the string and some beads. Let them decorate.
I would not recomenned this activity for the 2 year old. Keep her busy.
Google "Valentines Day Games For Kids" and you may get results.
You can set up a game or two.
Have fun and good luck tomorrow!

They can make Valentine’s day cards for their parents. If you bring over white, pink, and red construction paper, glue, glitter, markers, scissors, and possibly doilies, you can probably keep their attention for a while.
You could bake Valentine’s day treats, like brownies, cookies, or there’s a recipe for Rice Krispie Valentine’s Day treats here: http://www.ricekrispies.com/?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=rice%2Bkrispie%2Btreat%2Brecipes&utm_campaign=Brand#/recipes/valentine-cut-out-treats
You could make flowers. If you get tissue paper cut into small squares and piping, you can make them. I can’t exactly describe how to make them but that can be easily looked up.
If you make flowers, the kids can maybe paint things to put them in and give them to their parents?
7 Up and Freeze Tag is always a good way to keep kids attention. Also, Freeze Dance, and How Many Socks? It’s not a Valentine’s Day activity but I’m sure they’ll all enjoy it. Get a whole bunch of big tube socks and then have two of the kids go against each other. They have 1 minute to put on as many socks as they can.
Good luck!
