Valentine Boxes

I've never been a huge fan of Valentine's Day.  It's nice, but always way overdone in my opinion.  I never remember making Valentine boxes as a kid- either we didn't do it in NY or it never made a big impression, I don't know.  Anyway, it's quite the tradition around here.  I am always glad when the kids make their box or bag at school, which is sometimes the case.  This year all 3, even our 4th grader, had to make a box at home.  They were all excited and into doing it, thankfully, and now that they are older they can pretty much do it themselves.  I had to take pictures because I thought each kid did a great job and suited them perfectly.

Leopard print duck, tape- need I say more about this one?!

She liked someone else's idea so went with the duck tape but is always thinking of others and knows her dad loves cheese even more than she does, so it is to give to him on Valentine's Day once she is done with it at school.

Big brown box, other large pieces of cardboard, sliver duck tape, masking tape, and 2 detailed maps of the layers of the ocean, complete with a giant squid floating at the bottom.  Happy Valentine's Day!
