18 Really Cute Valentine’s Day Gifts For Kids

It can be especially difficult to come up with unique ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts for babies that are love-themed, but also useful. Thankfully, this cute silicone teether from Manhattan Toy Company is both. The pink elephant not only has a red heart sprouting from it’s trunk, but there’s a heart-shaped cutout in the center that makes it easy for your baby to hang onto while they gnaw on the toy’s textured surface.

I don’t know a single kid who wouldn’t love to receive a heart-shaped pop-it toy for Valentine’s Day. Even kids who have stacks of these sensory toys (my own included) are still thrilled to get them in new shapes, colors, and sizes. This heart-shaped pop-it includes 27 individual poppers that flex back and forth over and over again. The tie-dyed look of this one is super soothing to look at, plus it has a decidedly Valentine’s vibe. This is one kid toy that says, “I love you so much” without being too in-your-face about it.

Make bath time extra special on Valentine’s Day with a fun kids bath bomb from Bathessential Shop on Etsy.

Each kit comes complete with an 11 by 11-inch canvas with a pre-drawn image of a butterfly for kids to create their own unique creation with the included paints.

When it’s complete, they can display their beautiful work of art around your home to enjoy day after day.

These fun cereal bowls from Personalization Mall on Etsy make an adorable Valentine’s Day gift for kids of all ages. (Honestly, I really want one for myself, too!)

Socks are a go-to gift for kids of all ages, but sometimes they can feel boring and plain to give.

After all, nothing says “I love you” quite like milk and cookies.

Each sock of this perfectly coordinated pair features a googly-eyed face, one with milk and the other with chocolate chip cookies on it.

Jewelry is such a quintessential Valentine’s Day gift to give, but it can sometimes be difficult to find quality pieces that aren’t too expensive for kids, but still look nice.
