Luke’s Valentine’s Day Mailbox for Preschool

Luke’s preschool teacher requested that parents help their children decorate a box to hold all their Valentines they will receive at their party today.  I had to remind myself that it was Luke’s box and not mine, but I got it started for him and let him decorate the rest ;)

Found the perfect box

Cut off the extra flaps

Covered it in Red duct tape and hot glued cute paper to the inside

Then I pulled out everything I could think of and helped Luke decorate his box. 

He was pretty excited!

Foam stickers are awesome for this kind of thing! 

To keep the top from flapping open too much, I hot glued a heart button onto another button {to help it stick out} and then glued it onto the box

Then I taped a ribbon loop for a closure and made Luke practice opening and closing the box…it took a few tries for him to figure out the best way to close it and get the loop off again. 

I think it turned out great!  I thought he needed some more “boy” stickers so I let him put on some more of those this morning:

I’ll show you what his Valentine’s looked like in a bit…I want to see what he brings home from everyone else before I post them! So look for that post later today!  I’m putting up all my Valentine’s Day posts today—nothing like waiting until the last minute!!
