Valentine’s Day is everywhere in February—but most activities focus on candy, cards, and cute sayings without much substance behind them.
That’s why we created these Valentine’s Day coloring pages—to give kids something simple and meaningful to do while learning the real history behind the holiday.
More Than Just Coloring
These free coloring pages come directly from our How Valentine’s Day Was Born unit study. Each page connects to a real part of Valentine’s Day history, including:
- Medieval poets and the origins of romantic Valentine’s Day
- How Valentine’s cards and shops became big business
- The surprising truth behind traditions we often assume are ancient
They’re perfect for keeping little hands busy while you read or listen to audio lessons or talk about history topics.
