Looking for the best Valentine’s Day shows for kids? From Blue’s Clues to Winnie the Pooh, these sweet and fun episodes celebrate love, friendship, and kindness. Perfect for toddlers and kids!
We are dealing with the post-Christmas blues over here. The tree is packed away, the stockings are gone, and my toddler is looking around for our decorations. To help shift gears, I’m getting her excited for the next big thing—Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day can be more than chocolates and roses (though I won’t say no to those!). Ever since becoming a mom, this holiday has felt more like a season than just a single day, and honestly? I love it!
From Valentine’s Day crafts to candy exchanges with best friends, and all the extra snuggles during chilly February, I’ve fully embraced this love-filled holiday. It’s no longer just for couples—it’s for everyone we love!
One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day is how slow and simple it feels. There are no big gatherings or stressful schedules, just a month of decorating, celebrating, and making sweet memories at home.
But… if you’ve ever tried explaining Valentine’s Day to a toddler, you know it’s tricky. How do you describe a holiday about love and friendship before they experience it?
One way I’ve helped my little one understand as Valentine’s Day approaches is through her favorite TV characters!
This year, I put together a list of Valentine’s Day-themed episodes that bring the fun and spirit of the holiday into our home. Whether they focus on making valentines, celebrating friendships, or just embracing kindness, these episodes are perfect for toddlers through early elementary-aged kids.
They’ve been a huge hit in our house, setting the mood for the holiday while we craft valentines, snack on treats, and enjoy cozy February days together!
