About Valentine’s Day
A heart-filled Valentine’s Day celebration built around friendship, kindness and sweet hands-on crafts. Kids make their own valentines, decorate cookies or build a little flower box to gift someone they love.
The framing is what makes it work. Valentine’s Day can get awkward for kids — who gets a card, who doesn’t, who’s watching. We take romance out of it entirely and put friendship in its place. Everyone makes for everyone. Nobody counts what they received.
Our hosts lead gentle heart-themed games, a ‘compliment circle’ and a cozy craft session — perfect for school class parties, family gatherings and Galentine’s-style kids events. The compliment circle is the one teachers ask us about afterwards: each child says one genuine thing about the person beside them, and a room of eight-year-olds turns unexpectedly, disarmingly kind for about four minutes.
You choose the craft, and we’ll recommend based on the age group — handmade valentine cards for the little ones, decorated heart cookies for the crowd that wants something to eat, or a small flower box for the kids who want to hand someone something beautiful. For longer events we run two stations side by side.
Every child leaves with a handmade keepsake to give away. It’s a calm, warm alternative to a high-energy party, and pairs beautifully with our cookie-decorating or floral workshops. We bring all materials and run the whole session — you just point us at the tables.

You can choose: handmade valentine cards, decorated heart cookies, or a small flower box. We’ll recommend based on the age group.
Yes — it’s one of our most popular school formats. We bring all materials and run the whole session.
Absolutely — for longer events we can run two craft stations (e.g. cards + cookies).
Ages 4 and up. We adjust the craft and the games to the group — simpler cards and more help for the little ones, more creative freedom and a livelier pace for tweens. Mixed ages work well too; the older kids usually end up helping the younger ones without being asked.
