Teen Girls Valentine’s Day Ideas

by Katie Wallace | Updated: January 31, 2025

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! It’s the perfect time to get creative and make something fun with your friends or sisters. Try mixing up your own DIY lip scrub or bath salts, growing sparkly heart-shaped crystals, or crafting cute paper heart bookmarks to share. These easy and creative Valentine’s Day ideas are a sweet way for teen girls to celebrate, spread love, and make lasting memories! ❤️

DIY Beauty Products

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a little self-care! Treat yourself by making homemade spa products to pamper your lips, face, and skin. Here are some of our favorite DIY beauty treats to try.

Rose Lip Scrub

Create a luxurious lip scrub in minutes with just a few simple ingredients. Combine 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of coffee grounds, and 1/4 teaspoon of rose water. Mix the homemade lip scrub well and transfer it to a small container. The scrub should have a sandy texture. To use, gently massage a small amount onto your lips to exfoliate and smooth them. Finish with a natural lip balm for soft, hydrated lips.

Lavender Sugar Scrub

Make an exfoliating skincare product by combining the roughness of sugar with moisturizing coconut oil. To make lavender sugar scrub, combine 1 tablespoon of white sugar with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add 2 to 3 drops of lavender essential oil. Mix until fully combined and spoon the sugar scrub into a small container. You can use homemade sugar scrub on your hands, feet, and elbows to smooth roughness and moisturize your skin. Rinse off the sugar scrub with warm water and follow it with a natural moisturizer.

Chamomile Body Butter

Additionally, body butter is easy to make by combining shea butter and coconut oil. Add a sprinkle of chamomile tea for exfoliation and a soothing fragrance. You can tear open a tea bag and sprinkle the tea into the homemade body butter. Combine equal parts shea butter and coconut oil, followed by the tea. You can also add a few drops of any essential oils to make a stronger fragranced body butter, such as lemon or lavender.

Homemade Chocolates

What’s Valentine’s Day without chocolate? Consider making your own chocolates to create a personalized gift for your loved ones. While teens take the lead, younger siblings can join in to make their own Valentine’s Day treats! DIY chocolates are surprisingly easy to make. Just melt milk chocolate candy melts or a chocolate bar. For best results, I recommend melting chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Once melted, pour the chocolate into candy molds and add fun toppings such as sprinkles, nuts, or a dusting of cocoa powder. Finally, allow the chocolate to fully set before gently pressing each piece out of the candy mold. Enjoy making and sharing these delicious Valentine’s treats!

The squeeze hearts have a different color inside, creating a cool color-changing effect when squeezed. These Valentine’s Day ideas for kids of all ages are fun and stress-relieving treats.

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Teen Girls

NeeDoh squeeze toys are soft and fun for sensory play, making them a trendy choice for kids and teens. My pre-teen girls especially enjoy fidgeting with squeeze toys like the NeeDoh honey hugs bear. It’s so squeezable and holds a charming “I love you so much” conversation heart, adding a sweet and playful touch. Not only are squeeze toys great for keeping little hands busy, but they’re also a fun way to relieve stress and spark smiles. Perfect for Valentine’s Day or any day you want to spread some love!

Kids will be amazed to watch the heart borax crystals quickly grow in just a few hours. Furthermore, you can turn this activity into a science lesson by evaluating the chemical reaction caused by mixing two ingredients. Follow our step-by-step instructions to grow sparkling crystals by using pipe cleaners, boiling water, and borax.

Valentine’s Day Slime

Last but not least, homemade slime is always a hit, no matter the season! For a fun Valentine’s Day twist, use the usual slime ingredients and add a splash of pink or red food coloring, a sprinkle of glitter, or some heart-shaped confetti. You can even mix in scented oils such as strawberry or vanilla to create a sensory experience. This DIY Valentine’s Day idea is a fun activity for teen girls to make together. Overall, homemade sensory slime is sure to inspire lots of smiles and squishy fun!
