My valentine craft- I'm not the best seamstress, but my daughter still wears it
Ohh…nothing is better than love being celebrated and with kids that means kisses, hugs, making valentines and crafts. This weekend children can show love not only for their friends and family, but for children who they don’t know by donating gently-used toys. Looove is in the air- celebrate! While you are crafting, why not listen to some fun Valentine music from A Charlie Brown Valentine
All-day Valentine’s Workshop
Here’s a whopper of a valentine workshop! It runs for 6 hours which means you not only have time to make crafts, but time to eat and maybe even…gasp! chill out!

Snacks and water are provided / Each child brings their own lunch.

Free Valentine’s Crafts all weekend through Valentine’s
What’s not to love about 3 free craft-filled days at Mini Max? You might even squeeze in a haircut or storytime too. Your child/ren can make their own Valentines (with glitter, hearts, and other fun and shiny bits to help show your love), create Valentine Finger Puppets or Valentine Lollipop Mice (mmm?). The crafts are recommended for ages: 3+ (they will have someone assisting but the little lovers in the crowd may need some parental help)
Details: Saturday through Monday, Feb 12th-14th, 1pm-2pm – Free! at Mini Max
Show your Valentine’s Love by donating
Water Street Restaurant is celebrating Valentines Day with a toy drive called “Kids Love Toys”. So start de-cluttering, de-thinging and start donating! It’s a great way for your child to learn about charity too! The toys will be donated to St. John’s Place Family Center which provides temporary housing, day care, infant care and other services to nearly 100 families in search of affordable housing. Water Street welcomes approximately 20 of their children (ages 5 & 6) as select benefactors of clean, gently-used, donated toys and games.
Drop off your games, toys and books and your family can stay to enjoy a day filled with snacks, candies and cards, coloring activities, cartoon movies and much more from 4-6 pm. While there you can savor their Valentines Day Prix Fixe Dinner (which includes truffles from next-door neighbor, Jacques Torres Chocolates). If you can’t make it the day of, you can drop off clean, gently-used toys and games at 66 Water Street all weekend, and retailers are encouraged to call and arrange pickup for sizable donations.
Details: Monday, Feb. 14th from 4-6pm. Water Street Restaurant and Under Water Lounge are located at 66 Water, along the cobblestone streets of DUMBO’s historic waterfront district..
