With Valentine’s Day just a few day away, I wanted share a little craft to help get excited for the love-filled day. We did this craft this past weekend, and it’s a quick and easy set up with a lasting product that can be used for the big day.
1. The Set Up
What you’ll need:
- Box(es)
- Wrapping or Packaging paper
- Tape
- Glue Stick
- Craft paper
- Craft pieces or Stickers
- Scissors
For the boxes, I used a mix of store-bought boxes and boxes I currently had. The store bought one was from Target {see below} and comes in red and white.
2. The Prep
Once you have all the essentials, this is the time to make any custom decorations and wrap any non-premade boxes.
I cut out Minnie and Mickey ears, hearts, and a special truck for W {because he loves cars/anything with wheels}, as well as their names for them to decorate and personalize their box. This step can be skipped if you want to use stickers or other ready-to-go decorations {pom poms, glitter, etc.} . For younger toddlers, I actually recommend stickers. W was not a big fan of working with glue on craft day, and I wish I had stickers as an alternative to keep his attention longer.
3. The Craft
At this point, you can let the kids select their box and decorations, give them a glue stick, and let them have at it. For L, it held her attention for about 15 minutes, and I think with a little adjustments in the future, it could have done the same with W.
4. The Results
And voila! That’s it! Your kiddos are all ready for those Valentines. 🙂
Until next time…
Stay Magical!
