Free Valentine's Day Printables: Kaboose

Kaboose is a family website that is sponsored by Disney Baby. Over the years they have added a wealth of information for parents and educators. Their Valentine's Day section is full of tons of great printables and craft ideas.

Their crafts section is full of simple ideas that even preschooler could handle relatively independently, such as a handprint wreath, Valentine heart wreath, Valentine photo frame, or a paper doll chain. Other crafts are much more intricate. They will require adult supervision. My favorites are the cardboard tube Cupid and the Valentines boxes. Kids will also enjoy the heart-shaped sunglasses and shirt. They also have a variety of homemade cards.

Their coloring pages are full of adorable pictures of animals and even two little kids smooching. They are available in two sizes to accommodate your needs. They also have some free printable invitations and envelopes.

Include some math and language skills by printing out their word puzzles or addition and subtraction worksheets.

Visit the Kaboose Valentine's Day page.

Free Valentine's Day Printables: Family Shopping Bag

Family Shopping Bag has plenty of free printable activities for Valentine's Day. Their coloring pages are quite intricate and almost resemble clip art instead of actual coloring pages. Some of them are a little more harsh in their lines than I like for my own personal coloring; but there are plenty of softer choices. Everyone should be able to find something they like within them!

Also available on the site are free printable Valentine's Day invitations for those parties your kids want to have. Keep track of your favorite recipes on their special recipe card template. Write love letters on their stationery. Mark the month with printable calendars. Make bookmarks. (My favorites have Baby Snoopy on them!) They also have templates that allow you to make your own treat boxes or even picture frames.

Kids of all ages can enjoy the crafts and printables on this site.

Check out Family Shopping Bag.
