How do you decorate a shoebox for Valentines Day?
Easy peasy!
Here are the steps we took to put together these simple and cool Valentines boxes for kids:
A recycled shoe box can absolutely be used but we tried out a recycled tissue box this time around. Same concept; In our opinion a tissue box is easier because of the premade hole at the top.
Cutout premade construction pieces so your LO can glue them onto their box.
I made sure to have one big piece for the bottom of the box, two long pieces and two short pieces for the sides, and one big pieces with a hole at the center for our top piece.
Then, use elmers glue to add to the construction pieces around the box.
Once, the pieces are glued well, start decorating!
We brought out stickers to decorate around the Valentines day boxes for kids.
Valentines day box decorating ideas can look like coloring, adding stickers, adding pom poms… to your cute valentines boxes for girls and boys.
