28 Easy and Fun Valentine Breakfast Ideas For Kids

These 28 Valentine breakfast ideas for kids are quick and easy to make but still full of fun, sweet Valentine’s Day vibes. Indulge in air-fryer biscuit donuts, decadent Valentine’s Day cinnamon rolls, refreshing watermelon hearts, and more with this list of kid-approved favorites!


Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it and I always enjoy greeting my kids with something special at the breakfast table. We’ve had this tradition ever since they were little and even now at 13 and 16 they still get excited to see a special breakfast on Valentine’s Day morning. It’s a perfect way to celebrate this special occasion as a whole family.

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy either. Toast cut with a heart-shaped cookie cutter and spread with strawberry jam or a fruit salad full of heart-shaped fruit is so cute and only takes a few simple ingredients.

I’ve scoured the internet to find some really fun ideas. I hope you see some something on this list that inspires you to make for a fun Valentine’s Day breakfast.
