To go along with the fun Valentine’s Day Round-Up I did earlier today, I thought I would share this new release and more fun Valentine’s Day ideas with you too! After all, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner!!
On January 29th, 2013, Madly Madagascar is coming to DVD! You will fall in love (Ha!) with Alex, Melman, Gloria and Marty as they go about their usual excitement of getting in to some trouble. In this all new adventure, craziness happens…including some love potion! 🙂
Here are some more Valentine’s goodie ideas…
PERSONALIZED LOVE COOKIES
Looking for a nice way to send your love to your friends and family this Valentine’s Day? Consider baking them special love-themed cookies to send to them at work, school, etc. Kids will appreciate a fun, extra treat to share with their friends at lunchtime, and mom and dad will love the heartfelt sugary snack made from scratch. Simply look up easy sugar cookie ideas, use a heartshaped cookie cutter, and then frost in white, red or pink with personalized messages. You can even use Pinterest for more awesome decorating ideas!
CUTE PLUSHIES
Kids will love waking up to a cuddling Valentine’s Day stuffed animal! V-Day plushies come in a huge range of different creatures, both real and mythical! Stuffed animals aren’t just for kids, either; adults can display them in their offices or cars as an extra way to show that someone was thinking about them on this special day.
COUPONS FOR A FAMILY NIGHT IN
Homemade coupons are always a hit with moms and dads, and this Valentine’s Day we suggest creating a coupon for a night in with your family! These cute coupons are simple to make – all you need is some colorful construction paper and markers. Parents can help kids write out a personalized coupon promising to spend a fun night in with their families. You can even list suggested activities for the night in such as playing board games, watching movies or cooking a family meal.
MADLY MADAGASCAR DVD
Kids will love the new MADLY MADAGASCAR DVD this V-day! They can spend the holiday watching their favorite, hilarious characters from the film enjoy all the splendor of this romantic holiday. Make this fun Valentine’s Day present into something more by hosting a mini viewing party for your kids and some of their friends – they can watch the film, make festive treats, and decorate their only Valentine’s Day cards.
EVERYTHING RED GIFT BAG
Make a unique gift bag for your family and friends this V-Day! All you need is a plain red bag, and then fun, red items to fill the bag with (e.g., lip gloss, candies, toys, jewelery, PJs, etc.). You can make each bag unique by finding something red for each member of your family or your friends – try to find things that are meaningful to them or fit their personality for an extra special touch!
A SIMPLE GIVEAWAY!
One SIMPLE reader will win a copy of Madly Madagascar. Here is how to enter:

February 8, 2013 at 5:59 pmI haven’t seen many this year! One I saw last year that I liked was taking a photo of your child with their hand out like they are holding something and taping a sucker to the photo so it looks like your child is holding the sucker.

February 5, 2013 at 1:20 pmI think we are going to do the photo valentines this year. You take a picture with your childs hand held towards the camera in a fist then you put a lollipop on the photo in their hand.

February 5, 2013 at 11:43 amMy son is going to “help” me make cookies and we’ll go out for a mother/son lunch…hopefully he’ll be extra tired so we can put him down early and my husband and I can enjoy the evening together!
