Fun Valentine's Day Activities for Tweens

Offer a few Valentine's day activities, crafts or games, and plenty of festive food, of course. You can even consider a theme to the party. You could have a chocolate tasting party, a trivia party, or a "matchmaker" party where you match each guest with a celebrity. Have fun with the theme and your guests will, too. More »
