Does your child have a Valentine’s Day celebration at daycare and you want to send a little something for all their friends? Or maybe you just want to get the toddlers in your life a valentine and need gift ideas? Either way I’ve got you covered.

As a parent of 5 kids, I’ve been around the block when it comes to finding appropriate toddler toys for holidays like Valentine’s Day. It’s a tricky age; especially when they’re old enough to want small toys other themed items, but still can’t have small objects.
