Valentine’s day and the whole of the month of February is here! Perfect time to spread love, give kisses and hugs to our little ones! We share with you the best Valentine board books for babies and toddlers to enjoy while cuddling and snuggling!
Hugs and kisses, love all around! But mostly shared with the closest to them when it comes to toddlers! This means, reading time with toddlers, when it comes to board books about love, is reserved to mom, dad, grandma and grandpa! Maybe even favorite aunt or uncle!

If your child is one or two year old, they will love our selection of Valentine’s day themed books. Our selection for under 2 year old kids is based on one (or more, if we are lucky) things:

- chunky and durable books to endure rough toddlers
