Box O’ LOVE

To create this easy and Super Cute Valentine Mailbox,  all you need are a few supplies:

• a child size shoe box
• wrapping paper
• construction paper or scrapbook paper
• small piece of cardstock
• tape
• scissors
• markers

I took Peyton to the craft store and let her choose her wrapping paper and coordinating scrapbook paper.  I told her to pick something pretty for Valentine’s day and this is what she chose.

First, you want to wrap the shoe box in the wrapping paper using tape.

Let your child personalize his/her mailbox by drawing or decorating the piece of construction paper.  Peyton wrote her name and then used glitter glue sticks (her favorite).

Cut a flag shape out of your small piece of cardstock and attach it to the inside of the box with tape.

Last, attach the decorated piece of paper over the top of the box, securing with tape on the inside.

You can use this to collect Valentine’s at a school party or keep it up in the family room and have family members leave daily ‘love notes’ for each other in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day!  The kids will Love it!
