Valentines Day Craft for Preschool

Posted by Carla Snuggs Feb 4, 2008

Valentines Day is February 14. I was thinking of a simple Valentines Day activity or craft to share and decided on a simple but Valentines Day mail box.

First, take ordinary shoeboxes with their lids and let the children decorate them with Valentines Day themed decorations. This can be anything like pieces of Valentines Day themed wrapping paper, pink, red and white tissue paper, confetti hearts, heart shaped stickers and lace.

Once the boxes are decorated, cut a slit in the top and it now becomes a mailbox.

Throughout the week, your toddlers and preschoolers can be working on those fabulous creative valentines for each of their classmates. A great site with Valentines Day Card Crafts is Everything Preschool. There are loads of ideas there. You may also buy pre-made cards, but for children, making the actual cards is half the fun.

Then, on Valentines Day, the children can “deliver” the cards to each child’s mail box, and the children will delight in receiving mail.

Happy Valentines Day!
