Dog Box for Valentine's Cards Craft - You can replicate the same type of craft using craft foam by tracing the template pieces onto foam and drawing on a few of the details. It turns out really cute just with paper though -- the directions assume you'll be doing it just with paper ... also Bear Box .. Mouse Box .. Monkey Box
Friendship Box - Sometimes it’s not the actual gift but the message that it brings that is most cherished. This gift is great for showing how much your friends mean to you.
Fun Foam Heart Purse Craft - This is a great craft for practicing simple sewing stitches without having to worry about poking yourself with a needle.
Goodie Cans Craft - The two Valentine goodie cans were made with the materials listed below. Look at each sample's photograph and choose colors and supplies accordingly. You may click on the picture of the individual cans for the necessary patterns. Print out the patterns and trace around. Then cut them out with the color of construction paper shown. Lines of detail were added with black marker. To add a glisten to the eyes, simply apply a dot of whiteout.

Valentine Character Mailbox Making Directions - Children in America celebrate by having parties and giving valentines to other students and their teachers.

It's just the thing for storing Valentine's cards and candies.
Woven Valentine Baskets - Weave a basket to hold your cards, a treat or give a small gift to your valentine.
Make a School Valentine's Day Box - An elementary school tradition is the homemade Valentine mailbox. Start with a shoebox or small cardboard box, then use your imagination to create a pretty Valentine box.
