Planning ahead

With Valentine's Day exactly a month away, I'm thinking of some fun little projects I can do with the boys, besides our traditional Valentine tree and tea party. Dylan has a lot of kids in his preschool class this year, and I think he'd love to make these festive little boxes for them. Aren't they cute? And perfect for the Valentine Swap I'm taking part in. (Just can't help myself. I love sending and receiving mail! And this way I'm guaranteed to receive lots of love in the post...) Time to break out the red, white and pink paper, the scissors and glue. Lots of glue! And maybe some glitter. Sawyer will be in his glory.

  2. If I was a little one in his class I would keel over with excitement if I got one of these boxes :)

  6. I believe I saw these boxes last year and they are still just as cute as they were then! such a great idea and really they could be done for any holiday or occasion, just use different colors!

    and that's so funny that you have a Valentine tree and tea party! my family never really did anything for Valentine's Day, though I do remember passing out Valentines at school. my mom only started getting me cards or little gifts after I mentioned that my best friend's mom did! :)
