What is a Valentine Box?

Depending on where you live you may be wondering what in the world a Valentine box is. In many areas of the United States kids decorate a box (cereal boxes, shoe boxes, a tissue box, etc) and take it to school for their class valentine’s day parties.

Classmates then put valentines cards into each other’s valentine’s boxes. Then each kid goes home with their fun decorated box filled with treats and fun notes from their friends and classmates.

I have also heard of kids making valentine boxes for neighborhood valentine exchanges and homeschool groups also often do these types of exchanges. I have even heard of parents making these boxes with their kids and then each day leading up to Valentine’s Day they leave a special note in the box for their child.

So while traditionally a valentine box is something elementary school kids make for class parties there are a lot of great ideas of different ways you can use a valentine box.
