Here is the second instalment in our crafty ideas for Valentine’s day!<\/p>\n

Now Lil’ A just likes to cut, tear paper and maybe try the stapler for a few punches, so I usually end up finishing all the projects I am going to show you this week and next.<\/p>\n

I saw this idea at Michael’s actually. It was on a sheet of paper hanging by the foam shapes, oddly enough.<\/p>\n

It is a Valentine’s Mailbox. I remember decorating the little envelopes in Elementary School to hang off my desk. It was a fun activity from my childhood. I also always liked to play “mail”. My brother and I would set up a post office in our basement quite often. (Sorry, Buddy…the secret is out…lol!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, here are the supplies you need:<\/p>\n

-Shoe Box or other box with a lid<\/p>\n

-Valentine’s coloured paper.<\/p>\n

-double sided tape (I found it held better)<\/p>\n

-Valentine’s foam shapes (I like the ones that already have the sticky backs. And peeling off the paper is a fine motor skill that’s great for toddlers!)<\/p>\n

-knife (to cut slot for cards)<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

1. Lay paper around the box and cut around it to fit to the box.<\/p>\n

2. Attach the paper to the box with the double-sided tape.<\/p>\n

3. Cut out the slot<\/p>\n

4. Decorate! This was the part in the craft that Lil’ A loved! I did have to help guide her a bit to put the stickers on. She did try and seal the box shut.<\/p>\n

5. Fill the box with love notes to your family members. I am trying to teach Lil’ A that words (or pictures in her case) are important to show others how you care. I’ll let you know how that goes:)<\/p>\n

In other news…<\/p>\n

I have just finished hanging this:<\/p>\n

I’m pretty excited to see how it turns out. Ours will be shades of pink for our glittery, pinkalicious girls!<\/p>\n

And I also made Lil’ E a Valentine’s tutu. I forgot to take a photo today, so watch for it later this week. Oh, it’s super cute! I’ll have to get out my camera.<\/p>\n

Happy Thursday!<\/p>\n
