How do you decorate a shoebox for Valentines Day?
Easy peasy!
Here are the steps we took to put together these simple and cool Valentines boxes for kids:
A recycled shoe box can absolutely be used but we tried out a recycled tissue box this time around. Same concept; In our opinion a tissue box is easier because of the premade hole at the top.
Cutout premade construction pieces so your LO can glue them onto their box.
I made sure to have one big piece for the bottom of the box, two long pieces and two short pieces for the sides, and one big pieces with a hole at the center for our top piece.
Then, use elmers glue to add to the construction pieces around the box.
Once, the pieces are glued well, start decorating!
We brought out stickers to decorate around the Valentines day boxes for kids.
Valentines day box decorating ideas can look like coloring, adding stickers, adding pom poms… to your cute valentines boxes for girls and boys.

Here are some fun ideas and supplies we love for adding to a Valentine’s Day Basket for 3+:
A Valentine's box is simply a box for kids to collect cards and gifts on Valentine's Day, which can be used at home or taken to school. There's much more to these boxes than their practicality though. They can be designed in a multitude of ways, and the sky's the limit when it comes to decoration.
1. "Sweet Treats Basket" - Fill a basket with homemade cookies, chocolates, and other sweet treats for your loved one to indulge in on Valentine's Day. 2. "Cozy Night In Basket" - Create a cozy night in with a basket filled with a fuzzy blanket, scented candles, and a romantic movie for a relaxing evening together.
I started by cutting out a big mouth in one end of the box. Then I covered the whole box with the fake fur using hot glue to secure it to the box. Make a tail out of the fur and glue it to the dogs back side. Cut ears out of whatever fur you have left and hot glue pink felt to the non-furry side.
Your take on homemade Valentine's gifts might mean an easy craft (anything heart-shaped will do), a sweet treat (think chocolates, pink candies or homemade donuts) or a DIY Valentine's Day card. Whatever your style, this roundup proves it's easier than expected to make your own presents.
Spa basket: Fill a basket with relaxing bath items, like bath salts, bubble bath, and scented candles, along with a soft towel and robe. Food basket: Put together a basket of gourmet treats, like chocolates, wine, cheese, and crackers, for a romantic dinner at home.
Greeting Card: A heartfelt Valentine's Day card with a personalized message expressing love, gratitude, or affection is a classic addition to a Valentine's box. Chocolates or Candy: Valentine's Day is often synonymous with sweet treats like chocolates, candies, or other confections.
