We found these awesome recycled cereal box valentine holders over at Almost Unschoolers and thought they'd be the perfect solution for this year's Valentine's Day party! They're made to fit on the backs of students' chairs which leaves their desktops clear for other activities and they're made from recycled material so the project provides a great opportunity for a mini-lesson on repurposing items that you'd typically throw away!

Materials

Creating the Valentine Boxes

[Quick Note: You might consider sending the instructions home and having your kiddos complete the project with their parents, otherwise you'll definitely need some adult helpers if you plan to tackle this project in the classroom!]

For the full tutorial, with explanations, we suggest visiting Almost Unschoolers, but here's a sneak peek at the process!

Cool, right!? This takes the shoebox valentine holder to the next level!
