Valentine’s Day can be fun and sweet, but it’s also a beautiful chance to remind our children that love doesn’t start with candy or cards. It starts with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. These activities are easy to use at home, in Primary, or for Family Home Evening, and they naturally open the door for gospel conversations.

This printable gives children space to write or draw things they love, people, blessings, experiences, and even gospel truths. It’s a gentle way to help kids connect everyday happiness back to the source of all good things. I love using this one as a simple Sunday activity that turns into a sweet discussion without feeling forced.

While coloring, you can talk about what it means that Christ loved us first, before we did anything to earn it. It’s simple, quiet, and perfect for Primary or home study time.
Affirmations Cootie Catcher/Folding Fortune Teller (Primary and Youth)
This foldable cootie catcher includes positive gospel affirmations about divine identity and love, like “You are a child of God” and “Jesus loves you!” Kids love the interactive part, plus they’re repeating true, uplifting messages while they play!

Revelation Roadmap (Youth)
For older kids and youth, the Revelation Roadmap is designed to guide scripture study in a practical way. It walks them through praying, reading with questions, writing impressions, and acting on promptings.
Instead of just checking a box, it helps them learn how to actually seek and recognize personal revelation. That skill alone can change everything!
If you’re wanting meaningful LDS Valentine ideas that go a little deeper than paper hearts, these free printables are a simple place to start. Teaching our children that we love because He first loved us is one of the most powerful lessons we can give them.
