Lego Valentine Box

Come on...you knew it would either be Star Wars or Lego.
 
Last year was Heart Vader and so this year we went Lego.
 
Using your everyday Nike shoebox, we covered them with wrapping paper.  If I were to do it again, I'd go for more durable/thicker wrapping paper/butcher paper.  We used gift wrap paper we bought at Target.  It's great for the color, but pretty flimsy.
 
Then the boys traced out circles on a cardboard box using the inside of a used ribbon holder.  It was the perfect size. If we had planned ahead at all, I would have started collecting large bottle caps like the ones on Gatorade or the like.
 
They cut out a few of the cardboard circles and I cut out the rest.  We cut out 32 in all.  Because we were covering the sides with paper, we put a circle on the bottom, some scrap cardboard in the middle and another circle on top.  This helped give it more height with out the added trouble of cutting out 16 more circles.  We covered the circles with more paper and glued them to the top of the box.
 
  I printed out the boys' names on the cricut and they glued them on themselves.  Full disclosure...normal everyday elmers glue doesn't stick so well to the glossy paper.  By the time we got to school, JACK was missing the C.  Another reason I'd go with sturdier paper next time.
 
All in all a quick and easy Valentine project.
Wonder what we'll do next year?
 
Smiles!!
 
Will share these Lego Valentine Boxes with the parties in the sidebar >

  23. Moreover, the blackberry vine plays a vital role in ecosystems, providing habitat and food for a diverse array of wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals. Its sprawling growth habit also helps to stabilize soil and prevent erosion, making it a valuable addition to natural landscapes and garden settings alike.
