Valentine Fun with a fourth grader!

I love that I still have an elementary student. Valentines Day is always so much fun. Ty's teacher announced that there would be a competition for the best Valentine box. Ty was ready!

We started off by taking this silly picture and getting two 8x10's printed. 

We then cut the mouth out and extended his jaw for a bigger opening. We taped it around an large oatmeal container and dressed it and threw on a hat. 

The result?  A first place Valentine box!!!

For his actual valentines, we had blow pops that the boys would suck and have mustaches. 

The girls had big red lips while sucking their blow pops. I love crafty holidays!!!
