Creative Boxes for Valentine’s Day
A collection of boxes for Valentine’s Day that includes simple and creative ideas that are sure to be a hit. They’re fun to make, and perfect for celebrating.
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 create. I love that they 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!

Mermaid
Is this not the cutest? This is on high the list for one my kids! A simple box and some colored paper makes this darling box come to life.
Pizza
Such a fun and creative idea–and kids can make whatever pizza they like! Adapt using construction paper and a shoebox for an even easier version.
Dinosaur
I am in love with this darling dinosaur! Switch up the colors to make it your own.
Rainbow
Think “outside the box”, and create your rainbow in any colors you like. I’m loving all these shades of pink with a pop of orange!
Unicorn
If you have a unicorn lover at our house, this is SO cute and simple to execute.
Tractor
You don’t need anything fancy to make this super cute John Deere tractor valentine box–just boxes and some construction paper.
Harry Potter
For all the Harry Potter fans, this is the cutest! You could change it up to be Hermione or Ron–even change the scarf colors for one of the other houses.
Bee
Your student is sure to love this adorable honeybee, made out of an oatmeal canister. SO cute and easy!
Gumball Machine
A simple take on the gumball machine–gather your supplies and then all you need is 15 minutes.
Repurposing ideas for Valentine boxes
- Oatmeal canisters: great lid, easy to cut a slit
- Kleenex box–already has the opening!
- #10 cans–cut a hole in the lid and decorate can
- Pail with a handle
- Paint bucket

I made the iPod box for valentines day at school. It was funny because everybody got my fake headphones on it and put it in their ears! It was a great valentine box and very easy.
I’m so glad, Carmen!!!

Hi – I am looking for a template for the ipod Valentine box. I used it last year as well. However, now I can’t find the template. Your link goes to a Disney family website. ???? Help!! Thanks
I clicked the link and it took me here: http://www.mommylessons101.com/2012/01/creative-valentine-box-ideas-2-ipod.html She linked to the original post by Family Fun (Disney), and it looks like they took it down. :( I’m so sorry! I did a quick search of their site and it didn’t come up. I did find this one though: http://blog.delightfulorder.com/2012/02/ipod-valentine-candy-tutorial-free.html
Hope that helps!!! xoxo

You are so welcome! :)
