make a Flower Garden Valentine Box
The kids are enjoying making all sorts of Valentine’s Day boxes to collect cards- both for themselves and for their teachers!
you'll need Materials
- Flower box printable: FLOWERS
- Flower card printable: flower valentine card
- Kleenex box
- Paint
- Craft sticks (popsicle, tongue depressors etc.)
- Craft knife (to be used by an adult)
- Glue gun/ glue or craft glue
We always find these items useful too:
Directions
- Remove the plastic liner from your kleenex box carefully.
- Paint your tissue box with a few thin layers of paint, allowing drying in between.
- Paint your stems (craft sticks) and allow them to dry.
- Create your flowers- either drawing your own or using the printable. You could paint or colour your flowers, print them on bright paper or cut them out.
- Glue your flowers onto your craft sticks, along with your leaves.
- Have an adult carefully cut slits in your tissue box to insert your flowers into your box.
- You can make a matching card that opens for your classmates to go along with your box (see the printable). Wouldn’t it be cute to attach them to a package of seeds!?
