Valentine's Day ideas for the kids?

Those of you with older kids, what are some ideas that I could do for the kids for Valentine's Day?

I've heard of doing a Scavenger Hunt around the house, but not sure on how to play it out? Any other ideas? My kids are 3 and 6. Thanks!

We don't really do gifts for the kids for V-day but we do holiday centered activities. This is what my mom did with us growing up and is one of those memories that I love.

Some of the things we have done(most of these have been done over the years with my SS who is 13, I am going to have to think hard for things with the little guy):

bake heart shaped sugar cookies and decorate with the kids

make heart decorations - garlands, lace hearts, heart people out of construction paper

plan/make a "red" meal

We did card making last weekend so we could mail them out, DS is 13 months, I had him do finger painting which I cut into hearts and then he "helped" me glue things down

here is the card:
