She just can’t let it go.
For the last six months or so, my daughter has been mildly fixated (okay, completely obsessed) with All Things Frozen.
Here’s photographic evidence of her obsession:
Here she is dressed up as Elsa for Halloween.
Here she is dressed up as Elsa during her Frozen Birthday Party in November.
Here she is dressed up as Elsa during our trip to Disneyworld last month.
And she shows no signs of letting go of her love of “all-things-Elsa” anytime soon. I’ve just learned to accept that Queen Elsa rules over Arendale as well as our house!
So with Valentine’s Day just days away, I’m planning on making it a very Frozen affair. And maybe by summer, For the First Time in Forever, my daughter can Learn to Conceal those Frozen feelings.
Frozen Valentines
Although my daughter is Team Elsa all the way, I was able to talk her into these super cute printable Olaf valentines I found on this blog. I just love the idea of using a “melted” freezer pop with them- so fun and different!
You will need card stock or paper (I would suggest card stock so they are sturdier), scissors/X-Acto knife, tape/glue, and some freezer pops. I was a bit concerned about finding the freezer pops this time of year since those are usually a seasonal item. But I lucked out and found these Kool-Aid Pops in the juice aisle.
Frozen Valentine’s Day Games
What could be more important during a Frozen Valentine’s Day Party than unfreezing Anna’s heart? This is an easy game inspired by Pin the Tail on the Donkey that could entertain preschoolers all the way up to elementary school students. Just buy a poster featuring Anna, cut out a blue heart, and tape it to the poster. Then, blindfold each kid, give them a red heart and see which one can come closest to covering up the blue heart.
I also like this scavenger hunt idea that uses Frozen lyrics for clues. Let the clues lead them to their Valentine’s Day goodies!
Frozen Valentine’s Day Crafts
If you’re looking for a bag or box to hold all of those valentines, here’s a cute and easy Frozen craft idea that requires only one skill- the ability to glue! We actually used these as goodie bags at my daughter’s birthday party but they would work great as a valentine-holder too.
Frozen Valentine’s Day Treats
Add some Frozen flair to traditional Valentine’s Day heart cookies with just a little food coloring. To get close to the Frozen colors of teal for Elsa and purple for Anna, I used the Neon McCormick Food Coloring.
Another easy treat idea is to use a Jell-O Jigglers Heart Mold and fill it with blue raspberry Jell-O. Now you’ve got some Frozen hearts!
Frozen Valentine’s Day Activities
If you’re catering to a preschool crowd, this sensory/science activity could be fun. All you need is an ice cube tray, hearts cut out of red construction paper, and water. Perfect for a Frozen-themed Valentine’s Day party.
Do you have another ideas to make your Valentine’s Day a Frozen Affair?
