Valentine's Day Kissing Booth Dramatic Play Kit

January 25, 2022 Kylie Tuosto

This year for Valentine’s Day we decided to put together this fun and unique sensory activity. I got out the lipstick and some white paper and let Sofie make kisses all over the paper. She absolutely loved it! Usually sensory play is with her hands, but this was such a great way to engage new senses and let her play with her mouth — normally I have to find taste safe activities because she still likes to put things in her mouth. But this was so much fun and she enjoyed it when daddy and I stopped by for some kisses. And even our labradoodle Milo joined in for the fun! He manned the kissing booth for a bit while Sofie went to gather more supplies.

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this together:

Valentine’s Kissing Booth Kit - $7 - This kit is so adorable and it includes the Pennant Flag, Bunting Banner, Paper Letters, Paper Mailbox, Cut out hearts, and more!
Flisat Table - $185 - We do all of our sensory play and kits on our table. It’s the perfect height for her size and the bins help us contain the mess and keep everything organized.
Wooden Toy Cash Register - $36 - Sofie loves to play with this! It gives us a good excuse to talk about money and how it’s use and what it’s for.

Valentine's Gift Basket for 1 Year Old Girl

February 10, 2021 Kylie Tuosto

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I decided to put together a little Love Basket for Sofie. But what could I possibly come up with that she doesn’t already have!? Since we’re planning a little vacation in March, I figured a back pack would be a great way for her to tote around her toys. And she’s been needing shoes the next size up so I snagged these super cute pink sneakers from H&M. Of course she needed a new game, so I tucked this sweet Rainbows & Unicorns memory game into the pocket of her backpack. Along with some new books, a teddy bear with an adorable bow from thepurplewagon.com and voila!

Quarantine Valentines Activity for kids

January 24, 2021 Kylie Tuosto

For Valentines this year, kids aren’t at school or day care and can’t bring sweets to share. And without seeing family, it’s so hard for Sofie to connect with family and friends. So this year we decided to do some coloring postcards to send out to family and close friends. It was so much fun to color these. It was Sofie’s first experience coloring and she’s clearly still learning. But she loves holding the crayons and trying to eat them hahaha!

So if you’re looking for a great Valentines activity I highly recommend checking these out! They even come with stamps so you don’t have to go out and get any supplies. Friends and family will love the hand drawn effect. And if your kids are a bit older, their friends will love connecting through snail mail.
