Sweet Messages
Here are a few of my favorites:
- Your face lights up my world.
- So many of my smiles begin with you.
- Be my love bug.
- Life is filled with lots of things that make it all worthwhile, but none is better than your little smile.
Valentine’s Jokes
My grandkids are just getting into the joke-telling age. And yes, some of their jokes make no sense at all, but they are so proud, I have to laugh. I think they’ll enjoy hearing and then telling these Valentine’s jokes to friends and family.
Here are a few jokes to get you started:
What did the calculator say to the pencil on Valentine’s Day? You can count on me!
What do you call a very small Valentine? A valen-tiny.
What did the stamp say to the envelope on Valentine’s Day? I’m stuck on you!
What did the cat say on Valentine’s Day? You’re purr-fect for me!
Knock, knock! Who’s there? Howard; Howard who? Howard you like a bouquet on Valentine’s Day?
Here are a few easy ways to use them:
Simply tell them the jokes in a phone conversation in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day.
Cut out paper hearts, and fold them in half like a card. Write the question portion of the joke on the folded half of the heart, then open it up for the answer.
Text them. My grandkids and I often share a GIF with a little message to each other before their school day begins. I can see sending a little GIF along with the joke. They are going to love it!
Valentine’s Books
Reading together is always special. If you are looking for some great Valentine’s books for your grandkids these are great picks! There are lots of fun to read together this month, even if you are celebrating from a distance.
- Check out Valentine books from your local library, then set a time to zoom or FaceTime and read to your grandchild.
- Google the title of the book. You may find it on YouTube, where you can both listen to someone read it out loud.
- Purchase a copy, and have it sent to their home. Have a video connection on a device that allows you to see the text. They can hold the book while you read to them. Or older grandkids can read to you. If they aren’t readers yet, they may have just as much fun making up their own text as they look at the pictures.
- I’ll be ordering this book for my littlest who is almost 9 months old. She is really beginning to be social during our FaceTime moments and it is so much fun! I’m having the book sent to my house so I can read it to her when we videochat. It has a little finger puppet baby bear to help tell the story. I think she will love it!

Activity Books for Valentine’s Day
Sticker by Number books are so popular right now! Here’s a Valentine’s themed one you might want to check out.
My middle granddaughter, who is 4, can spend a ton of time ‘spotting things’. The Where’s Bluey book I purchased for Christmas has been looked at more times than can be counted already!
She also loves highlighters, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this Highlights option for Valentines day. They will have fun showing me their work when we FaceTime!
Whatever you choose, sending heartfelt Valentine’s Day wishes to grandchildren will fill their day with the special love that only a grandmother can give!
