Furry friends
If your child loves animals, consider
volunteering at a local pet shelter. If you
are unable to work there, ask what items
can be donated and do a neighborhood
drive to collect items to take to the pet
shelter. Check Pinterest for homemade
dog or cat toys you can make as a family
and deliver.
A surprise delivery
Do some holiday baking with your
kids and do a surprise delivery to your
spouse, a grandparent, or a neighbor.
You could also consider taking treats to
teachers, or the fire or police station.
Ask your kids to make a homemade card
to go along with the treats.
Host a party
Invite your kids’ friends over for a
Valentine’s Day party. Offer a holiday
themed snack, craft, and card making
station. Ask them to make thank you
cards that you can send to nurses, first
responders, or people over seas in the
armed forces.
