One of the best things about becoming a parent is getting to watch your child discover the beauty and fun in the world around them, and this is never more palpable than around the holidays. It doesn’t take too much of a disruption from routine to make a toddler absolutely bubble over with excitement. Take Valentine’s Day, for example: Valentine’s Day gifts for toddlers offer such a great opportunity for holiday joy. Because honestly, it doesn’t take a lot! Expectations are low — they’re toddlers; they’re still learning to count past 10.

Do you want to see them lose their minds? Go ahead and give them heart-shaped pancakes. Or hang a few handmade hearts around your house. It’s the best. And little gifts to show you care are another opportunity to get a healthy dose of those excited little smiles and giggles that make it just as fun for you to give them something as it is for them to receive it.

For the most part, we kept these items fairly low-key, but we tried to offer a wide variety of Valentine’s Day toys, books, clothing, and other little items that will teach them what this holiday of love is all about.
