How to Make a Football Valentine Box

If your kid is into sports or loves video games, they’ll love this game-themed Valentine box that has room for all their classmates’ cards. It also comes with a classroom party set of 32 perforated/tear-apart valentines, including a special teacher Valentine. Plus, it comes with a designed valentine mailbox with lid (simple assembly required) and stickers featuring popular video game controllers, headphones, a slice of pizza and more.

Kids can use their creativity and imagination to dream up a cute mermaid Valentine box out of blue scrapbook paper, a flying hot air balloon crafted from cardboard boxes and playful duct tape or a googly-eyed dinosaur box that pays homage to everyone’s favorite prehistoric creature. Whether they go for a roarsome dino, a colorful rocket ship or a sweet birdhouse, kids will have fun putting these Valentine boxes together and showing them off at school.

Crafty parents can make these lovable creatures out of everyday items like tissue boxes (which already have perfectly sized slots for cards) and paper bags. For a more fanciful version, this robot valentine box repurposes an empty cereal box. To create the robot, cut a small rectangle on the largest surface space of the box (it will be the body’s mouth) and on the other side of that same box, cut another smaller rectangular piece to serve as the head of the robot. These pieces will line up to form the mouth of the robot, which will then hold all the valentines that are dropped into it.

Another great option for repurposing household items is this dinosaur box, which combines a plastic egg carton with a cereal or snack box and some paper. It’s a super easy craft, and kids can add details like a spiky tail and a snout to really bring the dinosaur to life.

If your child is a unicorn lover, this darling llama-shaped valentine box is a perfect match. The pink and purple glitter gives this one a magical finish. This unicorn Valentine box would be great to bring along to a friend’s birthday party, too.

Boys can show their love for their favorite sport with this football valentine box. It’s a simple, quick project that any boy can do on his own.

For an even easier option, you can make this football valentine box out of a plain brown lunch bag that you can purchase from the grocery store. You can also find brown bags in a variety of sizes at dollar stores and bargain bins.

Even younger children can assemble this adorable puppy box, which features a furry face and a pom-pom nose that will make any kid squeal with joy. Using a free printable and some wrapping paper, you can have your little one’s paw-some Valentine box ready in just minutes.
