Do I Need To Make My Valentine’s Day Card At Home?
Some museums do art sessions, particularly in half-term and the lead-up to special occasions like Valentine’s Day. So check locally for what your local museum has to offer.
Equipment – how to make a Valentine Day’s Card with your toddler
All these cards for Valentine’s Day use just a few craft supplies. You will need four main items:
child-friendly scissors
A4 card – folded in two to make a card shape
coloured pencils or wax crayons
glue (glue stick for less mess)
Optional Extras
coloured paper
toddler-friendly paint
cotton buds or paint brush
bits of felt, sequins, shapes – whatever craft supplies you have lying around
Heart-Themed Cards
These simple cards for toddlers all involve a cut-out heart shape which you then encourage them to colour/decorate/snip.
In addition to the equipment above you will also need:
a heart-shaped template or two
Play-Doh or cookie cutters are ideal. If you want a larger heart, try drawing one freehand onto a piece of cardboard and then cutting it out. Here at Happity we love reusing bits of cardboard from cereal packets and pizza bases to save money and be a bit more eco. You can make both sides of the heart exactly the same by folding the card in half first, then cutting it once. Open up and voilà.
1. Heart Silhouette/Peek-A-Boo Heart
If your toddler is into colouring, look no further than this heart silhouette for a Valentine’s Day card. This heart silhouette is so easy and needs very little preparation. First, draw round your heart-shaped template. Then (and an adult needs to do this bit), cut out the heart so you have a heart-shaped hole.
Your toddler then simply colours in the space left by the heart so when you open the card, you not only have a cut-out heart shape but also a coloured-in heart.
2. Handprint Hearts- Valentine’s Day Card Activities With Your Toddler
For a handprint heart card, your toddler simply dips their hand in some paint and presses down on the card. Once you have a hand print, you can draw a heart shape round it, decorate it with little hearts – or simply leave it as it is!
3. Decorated Heart
For a decorated heart card you just need a large heart either drawn or cut-out and stuck from a piece of card or paper. Give your toddler the pencil crayons and see what they draw on the heart. For extra sparkle, give them some little sequins or sticky shapes to add. Let their imagination go wild! If your toddler is into making collages, try bits of felt, tissue paper, or even leaves.
4. Frilly Hearts – Valentine’s Day Cards
If your toddler loves snipping and is beginning to develop dexterity with scissors, try out these frilly heart shapes. First, draw round and cut out some heart shapes using your template (your toddler can try this too) on red or coloured. Then get scissors and cut small cuts round the edge of each heart. If you have any crafting scissors, these can give a nice patterned finish as well. Finally, mount the hearts on your A4 folded card
5. Nature Heart – Valentine’s Day Card With Your Toddler
For a nature heart, use any bits of twigs, stones, petals or leaves your toddler may have collected. Start with a basic heart shape drawn on a piece of paper. Add glue, then arrange the natural materials on the shape. Your toddler can have loads of fun arranging bits of the natural world to make a truly unique card.
6. Sticky Hearts
A sticky hearts card is for those toddlers who absolutely love pasting and sticking! First, cut out as many heart shapes as you want (you can do this while your toddler is using the glue). If you want to use different shapes and sizes, go for it! Secondly, cover the front of your card entirely in glue. Now comes the fun part. Your toddler can simply stick hearts wherever they like on the card. Overlapping hearts, a few hearts, all the hearts – go with whatever they like!
7. Finger-Printing Hearts
You will need some washable paint or finger paint for this one. Get your piece of A4 folded card and dip your and your toddler’s index finger in the paint. By pressing your finger down two or three times – once to the left, once to the right (and possibly one at the bottom as well) – you can make some easy finger-print hearts all over the card.
8. Cotton-Bud Hearts
For cotton-bud hearts, take some paint and dip in the cotton-bud. Then your toddler can try painting round your heart templates to create lots of hearts on the page. Or you can go freestyle and just see what design your toddler comes up with. Use a traditional paint brush if you prefer.
Flower-Themed Cards
For Valentine’s Day cards with a bit of a flower theme, add some tissue paper to your list of basic equipment above.
1. Scrunched-Up Flower Cards
Take some small bits of tissue paper for your toddler to scrunch up into little balls. When you stick them in a random pattern on your A4 card, they will look like flowers about to bud. Your toddler can add stalks and leaves afterwards using colouring pencils or paint. Or you can use your heart template to stick the flowers within it.
2. Handprint Flower – Valentine’s Day Card Activities With Your Toddler
As you did with the handprinted heart, your toddler first presses their hand in paint to make a handprint (or two) on the card. Their fingers are the flower stalks. They can then decorate the stalks with hand-drawn flowers and leaves or bits of tissue paper. If you have any pre-cut shapes, you can also use these.
Bespoke Cards (Dinosaur, Animal…)
1. Flicky Paint Cards
Choose some colours you think would suit a Valentine’s Day card – maybe some bright reds, purples and pinks. The idea is to flick the paint using the brush and create an abstract and colourful mosaic of colour. Think splashes of bright flowers and Jackson Pollock.
2. Dinosaur Footprint cards
Who said dinosaurs couldn’t be for Valentine’s Day? For a truly original card to reflect your toddler’s personality, play around with dinosaur footprints. Simply dip the feet of a toy dinosaur into a bit of washable paint so your toddler can ‘stamp’ the dinosaur around on the front of the card. Chances are, this will make whoever receives the card really smile. See our toddler painting blog for more.
3. Stamp Cards – Valentine’s Day Cards With Your Toddler
Have some of those inkpad round stamps hanging round at home and never sure what to do with them? Now could be the time to use them for something creative with your toddler. Use a heart or flower-shaped stamp if you want to go with a traditional Valentine’s theme.
4. Spaghetti Cards
If you have any string, elastic bands or dry spaghetti in the cupboard, try dipping a bit in paint and swirling it around on the card. Your toddler should come up with some unusual and circular shapes. Another one which could look like an abstract heart.

The term ‘Growth Mindset’ has become increasingly popular recently, especially within the parenting community. But what is it? And how do we encourage children to adopt it from as young as possible?
We’re joined by Becca from The Noisy Book Club who’s here to share the best ways you can use a Growth Mindset in your parenting style.

‘I’m bad at this’ vs. ‘If I keep practising, I can get better’
According to psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck, we can approach life with two very different mindsets (ways of thinking). With a Fixed Mindset, we think our skills are determined at birth. With a Growth Mindset, we believe that with practice and effort, we’ll get better at things.
Why does this matter for children? Because it shapes how they approach challenges and learning, both now, and throughout life.
Imagine that a child is trying to build a tower of blocks, and it falls over.
A child with a Fixed Mindset may:
Think: ‘I can’t do this.’
Believe: ‘I’m bad at building towers.’
Feel: Upset that they can’t build towers.
Behave: Doesn’t want to build towers any more.
A child with a Growth Mindset may:
Think: ‘It didn’t work this time.’
Believe: ‘I need to find a different way to do this.’
Feel: Curious about how to make it stay upright.
Behave: Tries another way.
With Fixed Mindset thinking, children are more likely to give up and avoid things, so of course they can’t improve. With Growth Mindset thinking, children believe they can get better and behave accordingly; and this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In this article, we’ll explore the basic idea of Growth Mindset thinking, and look at some practical strategies to help you nurture a Growth Mindset in your child.
What Is A Growth Mindset?
A Growth Mindset means believing that we can become more intelligent, skilled, and able if we show up, put in the time, and practice.
A Fixed Mindset means believing that abilities are innate— we’re either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ at something, and we can’t change it.
Fixed Mindset: “I can’t draw elephants.”
Growth Mindset: “If I keep practising, I can learn to draw elephants.”
We want our children to be able to recognise their own Fixed Mindset thoughts and change them to Growth Mindset. Research shows that children with a Growth Mindset are way more resilient, motivated, and open to challenges. Why does this matter? Because life is full of bumps in the road; they’re a vital part of any learning process. When children are tiny, we are programmed to protect them from dangers. But as they grow, we want to teach them to be able to bounce back from setbacks.
The great news? Mindsets are not fixed. Research into neuroplasticity shows that we can rewire our brains to think differently — at any age. (Even adults.) We can change our mindsets through language, our environment, and a little bit of practice.
5 Things You Can Do To Help Your Child Develop A Growth Mindset
1. Praise Effort And Process, Not Just Talent Or Outcomes
Try swapping, ‘You’re so clever!’ for, ‘You worked so hard on that!’
This helps children focus on learning and improving, rather than worrying about being ‘naturally good’ or avoiding things they find difficult. It’s easier (and way more productive) for children to be determined and focused than to try to reach perfection each time.
Instead of saying, ‘Wow, you’re amazing at puzzles!’, try: ‘I love how you kept trying different pieces until you found the right one!’
2. Normalize Mistakes (Theirs And Yours)
Mistakes are an essential part of learning. They show children that getting things wrong = growing.
When your child makes a mistake, instead of saying, ‘That’s wrong,’ you could try: “That didn’t work—what could we try instead?”
Share your own mistakes. Let children know adults make them too and that’s normal. For example: ‘Oops, I burned the toast! Next time, I’ll keep an eye on the timer.’
3. Use The Power Of ‘Yet’
Every time your child says, ‘I can’t do this’, try adding “…yet.”
It’s so effective.
“You can’t do it yet, but with practice, you’ll get better!”
If they struggle with tying shoes, remind them how they once struggled with walking, but they kept at it and look at them now.
4. Encourage Problem-Solving
It’s very easy to jump in to fix things, but instead try to ask guiding questions:
“What could you try instead?”
“What do you think would happen if…?”
This helps children build confidence in their own abilities, and eventually, they will internalise those questions.
5. Read Books That Promote Growth Mindset
Stories are a brilliant way to reinforce these ideas, and there are so many great ones out there. My favourites include:
Almost Anything by Sophy Henn
Beautiful Oops! by Barney Saltzberg
Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae
The Impact Of A Growth Mindset On Young Children
A Growth Mindset helps children develop resilience, confidence, and love for learning. This ultimately improves their emotional wellbeing, academic success, and ability to handle challenges.
School readiness & beyond: Growth Mindset thinking helps with academic subjects, the arts, sports, and even social skills. When I was a primary school teacher, Growth Mindset was the first thing I taught my classes in September. The more resilient children are, the happier and more motivated they are to learn.
For example: A child who struggles with reading but believes they can improve will keep trying. A child with a Fixed Mindset may avoid books or be too consumed by bad feelings to concentrate when reading.
Final Thoughts & Encouragement
Parenting is full of moments when we can reinforce Growth Mindset thinking. Building towers together, playing in the bath, making dinner.
Remember: Growth Mindset isn’t just for kids! Working on our own mindsets teaches our children that we too are making that effort. And children learn from what they see us do.
Teaching children about Growth Mindset can be done through small, simple steps. It’s slow-burn rather than quick-fix, but if you keep at it, you will see your child start to internalise these ideas, and even start calling you out. Then you know you’re really onto something.

Is it possible to take amazing (and authentic) photos of your children using just your phone? We’re joined by Rosie Borgese of Mums Photo Academy who’s here to share her top tips for taking better photos and creating beautiful memories.

Did you know that you can take stunning photos of your children without costly equipment or a professional photographer? With only the phone in your pocket, you can produce professional-quality photos of your own family. Let me tell you a secret. It’s not about having an expensive camera but how you use it…and guess what? Your phone is more powerful than you think!
So read on for tips that will help you take better photos and become your own family’s pro-photographer.
How to Use Your Phone to Take Authentic Photos of Your Kids
1. Recognise The Camera Settings on Your Phone
First things first: familiarise yourself with the camera on your smartphone. The majority of contemporary phones are loaded with capabilities that can greatly improve your images. Examine options like HDR, composition grid lines, and manual exposure adjustment. Knowing how these operate can significantly enhance your photos.
2. Master Lighting
Lighting is essential in photography. Natural light is your best friend when ,specially cloudy sky is the best and in the UK we are lucky! On a cloudy day the light is diffused and soft and creates soft shadows.
Steer clear of the intense midday light since it can create unattractive shadows. Instead, look for softer light in the early morning or late afternoon. When indoors, choose spaces with lots of natural light or, if needed, diffused artificial lighting.
3. Get the Focus Right – Take Better Photos Of Your Kids
It’s important to keep your subject in focus. Make sure your child’s face is clear and sharp by using the focus lock feature on your camera. To simultaneously change focus and exposure, tap on their face on your screen. When relocating subjects who might be running around, this is really useful.
4. Use Composition to Play
An ordinary shot can be transformed into a beautiful one through composition. To make your picture more dynamic, use the rule of thirds and position your youngster off-centre. Try adjusting your viewpoint by lowering yourself to your child’s eye level or playing around with angles. Creative cropping can also have a significant impact.
5. Appreciate The Honest Moments
Although prepared photographs are appealing, candid photographs convey your child’s genuine personality and unfiltered emotions. Encourage them to be themselves, laugh, and play. For more genuine moments, take pictures of them moving or focused. In this way you can take meaningful and intimate pictures of your daily and seemingly mundane moments that will tell your own family story beautifully.
6. Have Fun – Take Better Photos Of Your Kids
Try to keep the photographing experience enjoyable rather than directing your child to say ‘cheese,’ which might make them grin unnaturally. Tell a joke, sing a song, or play a game. Their genuine personality will come through when they are at ease and enjoying themselves, and you will be able to get beautiful natural smiles.
7. Make Use of Advanced Features
Utilise functions such as portrait mode to highlight your youngster in the picture and create a stunning depth-of-field effect. For action shots, burst mode is great because it makes sure you don’t miss any quick moments. Using time-lapse and slow motion techniques can give your photos a unique look.
8. Edit Gently – Take Better Photos Of Your Kids
Your pictures can be enhanced by editing, however make sure to preserve their true beauty. You may want to adjust the contrast and brightness, along with using a light filter. Your phone is equipped with a basic feature that lets you make small changes to the original image. Bear in mind that we are only improving already existing beauty.
9. Print and Treasure Your Photos
Don’t let your phone’s amazing photos of your kids remain hidden. Make photo albums, print them, and display them on your wall. Print these moments, hold them in your hands and share them with your loved ones. They are your family’s story.
Some Last Words of Encouragement For Taking Better Photos
Remember you don’t have to be an expert to capture your family’s beauty. Your love is your primary tool. So grab your phone, embrace the chaos and preserve those everyday moments. Your family will love to look back at these wonderful memories you’re creating by taking better photos of your children.

Are you a big fan of Instagram or Tiktok but sometimes need a reminder to take a reality check? We all know that scrolling through reels and posts can be fun, but if you’re finding it’s beginning to affect your mood or day-to-day life as a parent, perhaps it’s time to take a step back. So check out our mindful reminders for next time you’re scrolling through social media.
Looking for fun activities with your baby or toddler? There are thousands of classes and groups on Happity. Find one you’ll love here.
Six Mindful Reminders If You’re Actively Wanting To Scroll Through Social Media:
1. I’m Looking For X, Y or Z
Try and be mindful in the way you use Instagram and Tiktok. If you’re looking for something specific (maybe a funny parenting meme or piece of parenting advice), try and stick to it (hard, we know). If you can’t, set a timer, or a wellbeing control on your phone that limits your social media use. Try the Digital Wellbeing app for Android or Attentive for iPhone and Apple devices.
We’ve all done it. Set up the ‘perfect’ shot of our house or children by angling the camera away from anything we don’t want to appear on screen. Step out of shot and you’ll probably find that large washing pile, stacks of baby toys and books and crumbs that have been kicked under the counter. Remember what you see online is only a small part of actual ‘real life’.
Unless you live in a showhome or have a cleaner everyday, it’s unlikely that what you see on screen is what you would actually get if you were round there in person.
Remember this meme from a few years ago? Exactly that.
3. I Value Who And What I Have In My Life Already
Remember there’s no need to scroll or post constantly for validation from others who aren’t your closest friends and family (and actually may be strangers). Take everything you see online with a pinch of salt, and remember people are showing you what they want you to see about their life and family life.
We can all post holiday shots which make our life look absolutely fantastic. But for every ‘picture-perfect’ moment, there are probably ten more that didn’t make the cut. And photos can be edited nowadays to make them look even better. Trends come and go, but your family is yours for keeps.
Here’s a realistic mum vlogger for you to check out.
4. We All Have Good Days And Bad Days
Life is never predictable, perfect or the same when you have children – and that’s the beauty of it. Give yourself a break and remember what you’re seeing online is probably the best of the ‘good days’. Mess is OK and a ‘good enough’ day is also OK.
No two children are the same. So try to resist the urge to compare your children with the reels and posts you see online. Chances are the parent caught a funny moment. Either that or the parent is probably filming a well-established party trick!
6. It’s Just A Bit Of Fun
Of course there are influencers out there who make a living from their TikTok reels or Instagram post and they may be trying to promote a lifestyle, brand or product. But for the majority of us parents, social media should and can be fun. Try and find posts and reels which align with your beliefs, needs and make you feel good as a parent. Steer away from the negative, ‘fake news’ and posts which make you question your parenting style.
Two Mindful Reminders For Parents If You’re Not Really Sure You Want To Keep Scrolling Through Social Media:
1. What Would I Rather Be Doing?
Ask yourself this question from time to time as you’re scrolling. If the answer is ‘scrolling’, then keep scrolling! But if the answer is read a book/go for a walk/play with my kids, then time to close down those screens and go for it! Or maybe check out some more of our parenting, wellbeing or activity blogs right here on Happity.
2. I Can Take A Break
If you feel your social media habits are affecting your family life, try and set a few boundaries for yourself and when you’re around your children. These can be a few simple rules such as no phones at mealtimes and having dedicated times when you put your phone away to focus on what’s going on around you. Turn off notifications (they can be very distracting) and set digital wellbeing timers.

What are the benefits of singing nursery rhymes to your baby or toddler? Even if you’re not a fan of singing, you can still learn some simple nursery rhymes to sing with your child. From language development to social skills, read on for why nursery rhymes have so many benefits for your under five-year-old.

1. Lovely Language Development
As we said in Songs to Sing To Your Baby, all that repetition is so good for your baby’s development. They’ll learn so much about the rhythms and patterns of language and how it works and sounds. There’s a reason why so many nursery rhymes actually rhyme. Then there’s that beautiful moment when your little one begins to join in with the words, or the rhyming words at the end of each line. This can lead to some funny rhymes, nonsense words, or half-rhymes as your toddler repeats what they think comes next. It’s all in the name of speech and language development! See more on our Instagram post here and check here for baby rhyme time classes near you.
2. Creative Connection With Your Baby Or Child
Increased eye contact, facial expressions and actions are so good for your baby’s overall development. Music and movement together can be so powerful. Check out this mum singing nursery rhymes to her toddler as she pushes them on the swing. Before you know it, five minutes at the park can turn into an hour!
3. Fabulous Fun – The Benefits Of Nursery Rhymes For Under Fives
Nursery rhymes give you another reason to have fun with your baby or toddler. Whether you’re gently rocking to Row Row Your Boat, doing the actions toI’m A Little Teapot, or lifting your little one up in the air to The Grand Old Duke Of York, you’ll find it can actually be quite fun. If you get an ‘Again,again!’ it’s all worth it, right?
Mrs Furryboots’ YouTube channel has a library of over 500 songs you can sing along to, with new songs and playlists added every week. So check it out if you want to join the other 5000 subscribers looking for inspiration.
4. Fantastic Fine Motor Skills
Any song or nursery rhyme which is paired with a hand movement will really help your little ones when it comes to improving their fine motor skills. Whether it’s a nursery rhyme you sign along to, or just do some actions, you’ll find so many baby and toddler classes out there which teach hand movements alongside songs. Improved fine motor skills here we come!
5. Splendid Socialisation – For You And Baby
Nursery rhymes are frequently used at baby classes. Not only this, if you regularly attend a baby or toddler class, you’ll meet the same parents and children week on week. Not only will this regular contact with other parents help boost your own mental health, just being around other babies and children will have lots of benefits for your child. They’ll get more used to being in different environments with other children, and may even begin to interact with them. For babies, this can look like something as simple as laying next to another baby, or putting an arm or hand across them. For toddlers, expect some side-by-side play, lots of staring at other toddlers and some interaction or collaboration if the songs involve lifting a parachute or doing actions. With so many classes having ‘favourite’ nursery rhymes, you’ll find it easier to join in the more you go.
6. Numerous Numeracy Skills – The Benefits Of Nursery Rhymes For Under Fives
We’ll bet you can count five nursery rhymes which use counting on the fingers of one hand – 5-4-3-2-1 and go!
Did you get there?
From Five Little Ducks, Ten In The Bed and Five Currant Buns to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer, and Ten Green Bottles, nursery rhymes which use counting are classics – and for good reason too! Counting forwards and backwards from one to five, or five to ten, will set your child up well for EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) and is a skill for life.
7. Soothing Sleep – Benefits Of Nursery Rhymes
Music can help calm down adults and children, and it’s the same for children and toddlers. Lullabies developed as a way of helping babies get to sleep. So singing nursery rhymes can help foster that sense of relaxation, sleepiness and feeling of ‘flow’. You may find yourself entering a more meditative state or even dropping off as well! Sweet dreams, everyone.
