These boxes are usually brought to school or placed at a Valentine’s Day party where everyone can exchange cards. But it’s more than just a box; it’s a fun craft that kids can personalize to reflect their personalities or interests, making them an exciting Valentine’s Day tradition.
How do you make a Valentine box out of a shoebox?
First, gather your shoebox and cover it with wrapping paper, construction paper, tissue paper, or even fabric for a base. Red, pink, and white are classic Valentine’s colors, but feel free to get creative! Next, decorate it with Valentine’s Day decor and heart-shaped items like stickers or cutouts. Don’t forget to cut a slot in the top big enough for Valentine’s cards to slip through. If you feel extra crafty, turn your shoebox into a themed creation like a unicorn, animal, robot, or castle.
