Valentine’s Day is a season not only for love and romance but also for a wide range of activities for kids and adults. Aside from valentine’s day flower bouquet, romantic dates and get-together, everyone will surely enjoy fun activities to celebrate the day of hearts. On the other hand, it is not only a time for hearts. It is also a time for beautiful flowers. If you are planning an interesting and engaging activity for everyone, here are 10 flower themed activities that you can do on Valentine’s Day:
1. Lollipop Flowers
Paper flowers can be an easy craft to do. If this is an activity for preschoolers in school, the teacher may provide paper flowers already cut in shape to avoid kids from using sharp scissors. The paper flowers can be added with a piece of lollipop in the center.
If you want the flowers to emphasize the Valentine’s Day celebration, you may choose to use heart-shaped papers as the petals of the flowers and attach them accordingly to the stick of the lollipop to create a lovely flower.
2. Flower-filled Hearts
Heart-shaped containers made from paper or plastic can be hanged on ceiling, windows, or wall. To make it look more festive, fill each heart-shaped container with colorful flower papers. You can have those flowers in different sizes, shapes, and colors for added attractiveness. This activity can be done by kids and adults as part of their Valentine’s Day activities at home, school, or in places or venues they choose.
3. Cupcake Flowers
Cupcakes are one of the activities that kids, and even adults, love to do. For Valentine’s Day, you can make this activity more interesting by simply baking the cupcakes in flower shapes or design them with icing in flower shapes. You can use icing in colors of Valentine’s Day or sprinkle the icing with heart-shaped mini candies.
4. Flower Paper Bouquet
There are so many materials at home that can be used to create a bouquet of flower paper. Used egg cartons can be cut to form flowers and arrange in a bouquet. You can also have them painted or colored with the colors of Valentine’s Day for added attractiveness and style.

A garland accentuated with flowers and hearts is a perfect decorative item to do for Valentine’s Day activity.
