5 family rituals for a Valentine's Day filled with love!

You know our love of rituals at Les Belles Combines! We firmly believe that they play a fundamental role in the lives of our children. Like a reassuring and fluid framework, they weave invisible but strong bonds that unite the members of a family. Want to transform Valentine's Day into a simple but meaningful and comforting tradition? We have unearthed 5 cute traditions that will warm the hearts of young and old alike! 🥰

1. The messenger doors of love
Let's get out the colored paper and scissors! The idea? Transform bedroom doors into real cascades of little hearts filled with sweet words. "I love it when you make me laugh", "You're the best big brother", "Your hugs are magical"... When you wake up, it's a guaranteed surprise! Children will love taking part in this secret operation the night before. A tradition that only takes a few minutes to set up and that you will have no trouble keeping up over the years.

2. The heart mail
Let's make a super love mailbox! A cereal box, a little paint, glitter, stickers and voila, the magic happens! For a few days, everyone can sneak their treasures in: funny drawings, tender words, little jokes... On the big day, we appoint a postman who delivers the mail and who delivers the love notes to the whole family!

3. The Secret Service of Love
A few days before the party, it's time for the top secret draw! 🤫 Everyone becomes the ninja guardian angel of a family member. The mission (if you accept it!): to spread waves of love and happiness incognito for your protégé!

The rules of the game:

• Be creative in your secret missions: make the bed on the sly, prepare a surprise snack, slip a funny drawing under the pillow, put away the toys as if by magic...

• Stay discreet like love ninjas! The hardest part? Not bursting out laughing when your protégé discovers your surprises!

• Last until D-Day: The secret operation continues until Valentine's Day

• On the day of the party, it's time for the big revelations: everyone tries to guess who their guardian angel was!

4. Family Friendship Bracelets
Ready, set, braid! We all sit down together to create colorful bracelets. The older ones can help the younger ones, we chat, we laugh, we tell family stories... And in the end, we all have a great bracelet that reminds us that we are a tight-knit family!

5. The special Valentine's Day lunch box
Turn lunchtime routine into a magical moment! Here are some simple ideas to enchant your children’s lunch box:

Heartfelt meal ideas:

• Heart-shaped sandwich

• Red fruits

• Small Valentine's Day chocolates or cinnamon hearts

• Homemade Heart-Shaped Cookies

The little “vouchers for” to slip into the box:

• "Good for choosing dessert tonight"

• "Good for a special sleepover"

• "Good for 10 more minutes before bed"

• "Good for a surprise hug"

• “Good for an activity with mom/dad”

The little extra that makes the difference: Add a red or pink napkin, little paper hearts scattered throughout the box, or a sweet note hidden under (or in) the sandwich!

Remember: no need to worry! The important thing is to have fun together and create heartwarming memories. So, are you ready for a memorable Valentine's Day with your family? 💝
