When my kids were little, we tried to limit the amount of candy we gave them for any holiday to the amount we’d let them eat that day. That alleviated a lot of “can I have this” requests. But this also meant we had to get creative, because the last thing we wanted was a house full of junk toys (which in the end happened because of all the birthday party “favors,” but that’s a post for another day).
Our first choice was always books and I think I’ve mentioned before that the ONE item we never regretted buying them was books.
Here are my picks for the best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Children – Valentine Books for Ages 4 to 14 (Pre-K to Jr High):
All of these books are under $10 and will get read or shared over and over. Books are on the top of my non-candy gift list for Valentine’s Day (or any holiday!).
Great idea to give books for Valentine’s! We love the Fancy Nancy series.
The Muppets: For the Love of Piggy
I would love for my neice
The book Love? Maybe. sounds perfect for my daughter. Thanks for the post. I hate just giving them candy, which they really don’t need.
It’s a great book for tweens.
Fancy Nancy is set of books I want for my littlest grandbaby
They’re really fun books. My future grand babies will be getting lots of books from Nana!
I like the message of the book The Very Fairy Princess Follows Her Heart.
