Fun Valentine’s Day Activities for Toddlers and Families in Maryland

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to create sweet memories with your little ones. Whether it’s a day of crafts, treats, or outings, Maryland offers plenty of family-friendly activities to make this day extra special. Here are some ideas to spread love and joy with your toddlers while keeping things fun and stress-free.

**1. DIY Valentine’s Crafts at Home**

Get creative with your toddlers by making handmade Valentine’s cards or decorations. Simple ideas like heart-shaped handprints or paper plate crafts can be both easy and adorable. Local craft stores like Michael’s or Joann’s often host workshops for families around Valentine’s Day, perfect for sparking creativity without the mess at home.

**2. Visit a Local Valentine’s Day Event**

Maryland is brimming with kid-friendly events around this time. Check out activities at local libraries or community centers that often offer Valentine-themed storytimes or craft sessions. Popular places like the Maryland Science Center or Port Discovery Children's Museum sometimes host special events for families to celebrate the holiday in an educational, interactive way.

**3. Bake Sweet Treats Together**

Spend an afternoon baking heart-shaped cookies or decorating cupcakes with your little ones. Not only is this a fun bonding experience, but you’ll also have delicious treats to enjoy or share with family and friends. Many bakeries in Maryland also offer kid-friendly baking workshops, like Cakes by Cynthia or local cupcake shops.

**4. Go on a Family Outing to a Petting Zoo or Farm**

Valentine’s Day is all about love, so why not share it with some furry friends? Visit a petting zoo like Clark’s Elioak Farm or The Maryland Zoo. These outings are a great way to spend quality time outdoors while toddlers enjoy meeting animals.

**5. Book a Valentine’s Day Mini Photo Session**

**6. Plan a Valentine’s Family Movie Night**

Cuddle up for a cozy movie night at home. Movies like Lady and the Tramp or The Peanuts Valentine’s Special are great for toddlers and parents alike. Pair it with heart-shaped snacks for a little extra festive fun.

**7. Explore Maryland’s Scenic Parks for a Valentine’s Picnic**

Bundle up and head to a local park for a winter picnic with hot cocoa and cozy blankets. Parks like Kinder Farm Park or Quiet Waters Park offer beautiful backdrops for some quiet family time. Since I'm a Maryland photographer I personally have been to Kinder Farm and Quiet Waters many times for shoots. They are gorgeous!

**8. Spread Love with Acts of Kindness**

Teach your toddlers about the spirit of giving by creating Valentine’s cards for neighbors or residents at a local senior center. You could also bake cookies or donate toys as a family to make someone else’s day brighter.

Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love, and there’s no better way to do that than by spending time with your family. Whether you’re crafting, exploring, or booking a professional photo session, these activities are sure to make this day special for you and your little ones.
