This is definitely one of the best weeks to have a crafting playdate or party. There are so many fun Valentine’s Day activities to do with kiddos (baking heart-shaped cookies, DIY’ing superhero cards, etc); but in case you need some really pretty inspiration, the creative ladies of Beijos Events are serving up plenty of amazing ideas in this party they recently threw at Sweet Threads, an adorable shop selling new and vintage children’s clothing in Long Beach, CA.

Heart-shaped balloons are a must. Northstar Balloons collection is pretty insane, and makes it kind of addicting to shop for mylar balloons- just warning ya.

If you’re ever around the Long Beach area, you should totally stop by Sweet Threads. They’ve got a real knack for curating the best and cutest stuff for littles.

Pink sweets and heart-shaped treats from Sweet & Saucy Shop, check!

Um, these cookies… HAWT!

They had fun coloring pages made by Twinkle and Toast where kids could draw pictures of them with their mamas, make heart crowns and heart wands, or swords.

And here are a couple of mamas and their babies…

Love these ladies!

Feeling inspired? Now, go invite your mama friends and their babes over for a little Valentine’s Day crafting sesh! It’s the best way to kick off the season of LOVE.
