Valentine’s Day Books and Crafts

14 Valentine’s Day books and crafts! Read & Make lists are ultimate activity cheat sheets. These are all perfect Valentine’s day book club ideas too. Check out these easy-to-find books ( and they have affiliate links straight to Amazon too ) and the crafts are all easy to make too. Nothing is too costly, and many of these crafts work great for groups. Your Valentine’s Day party will be super simple to plan. As I said, all book links will take you to Amazon, but I have some deeper reviews of the books in my Books About Love and my popular Valentine’s Day Books for Preschool booklist.
