Greatest Valentine Craft Idea!

A Homemade Valentines Mail Box! 

I was in Michael's - browsing for Valentines craft inspiration and I noticed that there were bins with Valentines-like stocking stuffers. Hmmm... and then I saw they also have little foam mail boxes (like $6.99) and I realized how fun it would be to use up my cardboard boxes in a useful way that the kids could enjoy. 

So were are going use up our oatmeal, cereal, Kleenex etc boxes and make something like this. 

Some people are really into ADVENT CALENDARS for other holidays, so why not use your child's Valentine's mailbox and deliver them a special note, treat or game each day leading up to Valentine's day?

Or, why not give them a special delivery of treats that they can open Valentine's morning? So many uses. 

We are now inviting our friends to make a mailbox so we can have a valentine exchange party! Why should kids who go to school have all the fun? 

So yes, I am excited about this mailbox revelation, and I realize kids have done this in classrooms forever but its exciting to bring the fun home and do it at an earlier age.
