Valentine’s Day is a fun time to show our love with cards, gifts and treats. But as a mother, I’m often looking for alternatives to candy and chocolates for my children. We’ve put together this Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Kids with fabulous gift ideas that won’t cause cavities. This post includes items from our sponsors and affiliates, but all our choices and opinions are our own.

And… we’ve got a special Valentine’s Day Giveaway for you too! At the end of this post, you can enter to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card – open to both US and Canada.

Valentines Gift Guide - Kids

Holidays are extra special when you have children… including Valentine’s Day. Think past the chocolates and candies and shower your little blessings with creative gifts – some of which might even turn out to be educational.

For the first segment of our Three Part Valentine’s Day Gift Guide, see also our Gift Guide for Men and Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Women.

Photo Book

MixBook Love Photo BookOne of my favorite gift ideas for Valentine’s Day is a photo book.

And this Love themed Photo Book from Mixbook is so perfect to give your kids for Valentine’s Day!

Making a photo book for your kids is such a great gift because you’ll all treasure it forever.

If you’re anything like us, you need a little push to get your photos off your hard drive and into your hands so that you can truly enjoy your family memories. Let a special occasion like Valentine’s Day kick you into action.

Sophie la Girafe

Sophie la Girafe - Baby ToySophie la Girafe is such a special gift that is perfect for little ones on Valentine’s Day.

I love this soft plus Sophie la Girafe that has built in activities. Your child will love to play with Sophie’s rattle, squeaker, crinkle, and mirror.

She has embroidered eyes and pretty airbrushed details.

The little bird tucks into the pocket and is secured with sewn-in fabric cord so it won’t get lost.

You can machine wash and air dry Sophie so she stays nice and clean.

A Gift To Get Kids Active

yoga time - pond posesWe love gifts that get kids active and learning.

These Teach My Yoga Mat Sets are the world’s first educational yoga mats!

Roll up one of these mats and tie it with a pretty red bow and you have a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift.

February is still cold and dreary with lots of indoor time left before spring arrives. So get kids active with some indoor yoga time. You can stretch and practice yoga moves together.

Mindfulness for Kids

Mindfulness for Kids - Gift Idea for KidsWe look at gift giving opportunities as chances to fill our homes with items that can bless our families instead of just adding more stuff in the toy box. And this book, “Mindfulness for Kids: 30 Fun Activities to Stay Calm, Happy, and In Control” definitely meets our goals for smart gifts.

Mindfulness for Kids offers fun activities for kids ages 6-12 to stay cool, happy, and present with mindfulness.

Homework horrors, chores, and not-so-friendly friends―that’s enough to make any kid’s brain hurt. The secret to staying cool is easy: it’s called mindfulness―and this book gives kids fun activities to practice it on their own.

Cozy Slippers

kids slippersAny holiday is a great chance to give new slippers.

Check out these adorable fluffy slippers.

They come in lots of different styles and colors for boys and girls.

I love giving my kids practical gifts on holidays… and cute, cozy slippers are always a hit.

Phone Case

Kids these days seem to have smart phones by the time they get to middle school.

So if you’re looking for a gift your tween or teen will love, get them a pretty new smartphone case. New phone cases are inexpensive and are a way to let your kids personalize their devices to suit their personalities.

There are so many different styles in phone cases, you can find something for everyone. Check out these pretty Kroma iPhone cases that we reviewed.

Phone cases are another practical gift idea that won’t just add clutter to your house.

Books, Books, and more Books

Imagination Station BooksThe best gifts to give kids on any holiday are books!

Kids get so many candies and toys on Valentine’s day and every other holiday, that we always like to add a few books to our kids’ Valentine’s treat bags.

We also love getting our kids reading educational series like this historical adventures in the Imagination Station series for young readers.

Nothing pleases us parents more than seeing our kids reading… so use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to get them hooked on a great new series.

Wall Art Print

Minted To The Moon and BackA customized wall print such as this Love You To The Moon & Back! from Minted would be such a perfect Valentine’s Day gift that you will all enjoy forever.

What a beautiful way to display and enjoy your photos in your child’s bedroom.

These wall prints can be made in a variety of sizes ranging from 8″ by 8″ all the way up to 44″ by 44″.

A personalized wall print would be a lovely gift for a child of any age.

All Things Emoji

Emoji SpeakerAre your kids into Emojis?

This Emoji Bluetooth Speaker is a fun gift for kids who love Emojis.

It has a 6 hour battery life and an integrated mic so if can be used as a speaker phone.

Kids will love the LED lights which make a dazzling display that can be constantly on or dance to the rhythm of the music that is playing.

Educational Games

Pop for Sight Words gameThis fun Pop for Sight Words™ Game makes a fantastic gift to add to a Valentine’s gift bag for your child.

Kids will reach into this fun box to practice alphabet recognition and beginning letter sounds.

The fun treat themed game box makes this a perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

A great grab-and-go game!

Sophia La Girafe is so sweet, and the slippers look so cozy, while the Imagination Station book and the Pop For Sight word game are more like the gifts I usually love to give, and I am crazy about keepsakes like the photo wall art and the keepsake books.

To help relax and get back in the zone, I will stretch with some yoga moves then back to my good book.
