Making Valentines Day Mailboxes

Every Valentine’s Day, in classrooms everywhere, kids collect valentine’s day cards with their favorite singer or cartoon character from their fellow classmates. But what are they collecting those cards in?

Our friends have shared pictures of their childrens’ creations, perhaps you’ll get some ideas from them! Keep in mind that these are just a few ideas. Valentine mailboxes can be made from many different items such as shoe, cereal, tissue, and laundry powder boxes. Other ideas include oatmeal containers and coffee cans, baskets, or decorated paper bags. Use construction paper, foil, wrapping paper, material, magazine pictures, doilies, or paint. The possibilities are endless!
