Materials needed for a Valentine’s Day paper mailbox craft
My daughter prefers to trace and write the word on her cut and paste worksheets before coloring or cutting out the pieces. It’s easiest for little learners to write on the page while it’s still intact.
Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing at the download button) Printer access and paper or card stock Blunt tipped scissors Glue stick Preschool pencil or something else to write and trace with Colored pencils or crayons, if you’re using the coloring page version
Coloring the mailbox pieces is easiest before cutting out the pieces. Next, cut out the pieces. The mailbox has a back piece with a dotted border so it’s easier to paste the colored pieces in place. Glue the pieces together to make a Valentine’s mailbox. A reference image is included. My daughter’s completed craft is shown below along with her cut and paste Valentine craft. Add glitter, colored sand, or other decorations, if desired. That’s it! This is a super easy, no-prep craft that your kids will be enjoying just minutes from now.
