Valentine’s Day Dinner – Making Valentine’s Day dinner special for the kids, kid friendly Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love and since we love S an extra special dinner is a requirement! Plus I do not like to go out and eat on Valentine’s Day because the restaurants are so busy!
Menu
A love inspired menu that my daughter would enjoy was a must for our Valentine’s Day dinner. We made homemade cheese pizza shaped kinda like a heart 🙂 I know a lot of time pizza companies make heart shaped pizzas for Valentine’s Day.
We also made strawberry and marshmallow skewers. We sliced up strawberries and alternated feeding them with marshmallows on to a paper straw.
We rounded out our dinner with pink lemonade and a cake.
Decor
We used milk bottles and mason jars to hold our drinks. We added paper straws with cardstock banners attached to them. We had little clear glass containers filled with Valentine’s Day M&M’s.
We had a lot of fun planning, making and eating our special Valentine’s Day dinner!
Do you make Valentine’s Day special for your kids? Or do you consider it more of an adult holiday?

Your party is too cute. I’m in love with the strawberry skewers on the beautiful paper straws. The banners on the straws are so adorable. And all of the bright colors add such a festive air to your party. All of my kids are grown, but I did make Valentine’s Day special for them back in the day. Now it’s all about the grands and the hubs. 🙂
Thank you Alli! The skewers were so easy to make! And S had so much fun eating the strawberries off of it.
This looks like such a perfect menu for your Valentine’s Day party. Those strawberry skewers are super cute and creative! I also loved the pink lemonade in little glass bottles.
Thank you Trish! The skewers were so easy to make and fun to eat off of!
LOVE this. I try to make every holiday special for my kids. Just because it’s fun. It’s all about spending time together and just having fun little traditions etc.
Exactly AJ! I love to make the holidays special for S.
I get the girls Valentine’s Day stuff animals and then we bake cookies. I’m drooling over that cake and strawberry and marshmallow skewers!
Baking cookies sounds like a great tradition! Thanks Louida!
So adorable! It’s simple things like this she’ll remember when she grows up. My girls are always asking for “date night”. Love it!
Date night sounds like so much fun!
These are so adorable.
