Valentine's Card
-
Introduce the toddler into the tradition of a Valentine's day card by giving them one of their very own. You can create your own Valentine's day card for the toddler from construction paper and markers, or purchase one for them. The thought of giving them a small memento of the day is a great way for them to cherish the day for years to come. You may even attach a small message you can read to the child and include a piece of candy the toddler may enjoy with their Valentine's day card.
Stuffed Animal
-
Buying a toddler a Valentine's day-themed stuffed animal is a terrific way to show the toddler how much you care about her. You can lay it by her bed so she can wake up to her present, or give it to her when you find just the right moment in the day. The benefits of a stuffed animal continue long after Valentine's day, so the toddler can enjoy this gift for the weeks and months to come. You can even include a Valentine's card with the stuffed animal for an extra thoughtful gift for the toddler.

Treats
-
Perhaps the toddler has a sweet tooth that needs to be tamed on most days. You can purchase him a small amount of candy so he can take part in the sweet blissful day that is Valentine's day. You can also buy him a new toy to go along with that chocolate rose or lollipop, giving him something to enjoy long after the candy is consumed.
Date
-
If you and your other half are heading out for a romantic date later on in the evening, schedule a "date" with your toddler for earlier in the day. You can take her places you have never taken her before (such as a museum or the movie theater) so you and your toddler can enjoy an afternoon together. Take your toddler out for a nice lunch featuring their favorite food as the main dish, and then surprise them with the stuffed animal you have been waiting to give them all day.
