10+ Fun & Creative Valentine Boxes

 If you are making classroom valentines at your house, odds are that you probably have to create a valentine box to go with them. It’s on our list of things to do this week, too!  I’ve gathered a few really creative and fun ideas that range from a little more detailed to some that are easier and a little faster to put together.  I love that Valentine boxes can really be an expression of your child, depending on what you make, and how it’s decorated. It’s also just a fun thing that can be done together!!!
