February 14th is just one of those holidays that brings a smile to my face each year. Maybe it’s the pretty red and pink hearts that pop up everywhere. Or, maybe it’s the chocolate candy.
Valentine’s Day Board Books
These board books are perfect for little hands to hold. And, they are sturdier than books with thinner pages. That means that they will stand up to use (and abuse) from your toddler or preschooler.
After all, books should be read over and over again by many different people. And, you’ll want to do that with these Valentine’s Day read alouds.

Sloth and Smell the Roses by Sabrina Moyle
This is one of my favorite Valentine’s Day board books because it teaches preschoolers and toddlers all about mindfulness. As your child flips through the page, they will learn why it’s so important to stop and smell the roses.
This book is a wonderful way to encourage your child to slow down and get in touch with their feelings. And, there is a rose on every page of the book which is a perfect tie in for Valentine’s Day.
