Valentine Card Collection Box
This is an easy craft for kids of all ages using
supplies that you will have lying around your house. Of course you can
adapt it to suit what you have at hand.
You will need: An empty shoe
box or other similar container Wrapping paper, left-over
wallpaper, or any large sheets of paper (we used plain white paper)
Stickers, stamps, paper scraps, sequins, beads etc to decorate.
Instructions: Wrap your shoe box
with wrapping paper or plain paper, gluing the top down carefully and using
glue, sticky tape or even staples to secure the rest.
Carefully cut a slit in the top of the box, large enough to slide Valentine
envelopes through. (An adult should do this). Provide an
assortment of stickers or scraps of paper, sequins, beads and glitter and a glue
stick, and decorate the box! Ideas:
For younger children, a white-covered box (prepared in advance)
and brightly-coloured stickers provide a quick and easy (and clean!) craft
activity. Stamps, potato shapes or sponges and poster
paint make a messier alternative! Beautiful boxes can be
made by older kids if you use an appropriate wrapping paper and highlight it
with silver and gold gel pens, sequins, beads or 3D tube paint. Back to
