Make this classroom Valentine box! NOM NOM NOM

BWAH! This hilarious photo-enhanced shoebox makes classroom Valentines even more fun to collect! From Gina Rau of Feed Our Families:

I left my husband in charge of making our daughter's Valentine box for school...this is what he came up with! It was the hit of the class!

All you need is a blown-up photo, a shoe box, a glue stick, and some scissors. And a sense of humor.

Gina added: "Don't judge me on this one." I JUDGE YOU AWESOME, GINA.

Who's got ideas for Valentine collection boxes? (I usually send my daughter to school with a used gift bag and call it done, so I'm useless.)

That is hilarious! Thank you for sharing. :) We don't have to make boxes to bring in, but I will definitely remember this in case the occasion arises!

Such a cute idea! My kids don't make boxes either to bring in but wish they did!
