Homemade Valentine Boxes

Happy Valentines Day Everyone! 
I thought I would share a little creative fun we had at our house this past weekend!  The boys got together and dreamed up their perfect valentine box.  In the true spirit of the holiday, they built their valentine boxes out of a standard shoe box.  Although I helped cut some of the cardboard, tape the paper to the box and cut the holes for the valentines to fit into, the boys did ALL the rest!  These boxes are constructed with a lot of love and creativity, a shoebox, cardboard, tape, construction paper, acrylic paint, markers and stickers.  Enjoy.

Chan and his Tank - pull up on the gun and the slot opens for the valentines.


Cole and his C17 Bomber - the back of the plane opens for the valentines
Jake and his baseball Mitt - astonishing hand-painted mitt that lifts to expose the hole for the valentines.
