More Cupid's Mirror Message Valentine Activity Fun

Writing Valentine messages and drawing on mirrors is sure to be so much fun for your preschooler that they won't want to stop. The special window marker paint pen can certainly be used for other holiday-themed activities too.

1. Play Valentine tick-tack-toe on the mirror with your preschooler. Afterall, X's and O's stand for hugs and kisses!

2. Use the window marker paint pen to play Valentine pictionary with the family. Write out Valentine-themed words on strips of paper and throw in a basket. Family members will have fun drawing and guessing each Valentine object. Some words to get you started are: heart, cupid, chocolate, lips and conversation hearts.

3. Play Valentine hide and seek. Leave festive clues on mirrors and windows, like heart-shaped tipped arrows, to help direct your preschooler to your hiding spot. If you have an older preschooler, reverse play and let him/her leave clues for you.

4. Decorate your home for this season of love, by drawing Valentine-themed pictures on windows for passerbys to see.

5. Is your preschooler an artist? Let him/her draw a self-portrait by standing in a full-length mirror and tracing the outline of his/her body with the window marker paint pen. Use different color window marker paint pens to draw on the details, and present to dad as a unique Valentine's Day present.

Tip: Mirrored closet doors work great for Cupid's mirror message Valentine activities.
