Note from Your Publisher: Valentine's Day

Celebrate at Home with the Kids

By Heather Leigh Carroll-Landon, PhD - Publisher Macaroni Kid, Henderson-Boulder City, North Las Vegas, & SW Las Vegas February 5, 2021

Greetings everyone!

Valentine's Day is almost here! Just ten more days and we will be celebrating all things love-related. To help you find your family fun with your kids this Valentine's Day I have dedicated this newsletter to the holiday, including recipes, activities, and crafts you can do with your kids on February 14, 2021. Additionally, I have come up with a list of things you can do with your kids if you plan to stay home this year to celebrate. Some things you can do with your kids at home include: 

  • Decorate the Home with Lots and Lots of Hearts
  • Have a chocolate tasting with candies, cookies, cakes, and fondue
  • Plan a game night, including board games, card games, and video games
  • Host a cooking class and teach your kids how to cook - Search Macaroni Kid SW Las Vegas for recipe ideas!
  • Write and leave love notes throughout your home
  • Create Valentine's Day cards to send to nursing homes, veteran's hospitals, children's hospitals, etc. 
  • Plan a movie marathon
  • Host a craft buffet

No matter what you have planned, make this Valentine's Day one to remember with your kids. Have fun and cherish the time you have with them.
