Two Ways to Use Valentine Boxes for Winter

Over the years, I have developed a deep affection for Valentine’s Day. Embracing festive holidays has been a source of joy, particularly during the dreary days of winter. I’ve discovered that Valentine’s Day boxes offer an excellent opportunity to enhance toddler fine motor skills.

Don’t limit yourself to using Valentine boxes only in February! Today, I want to inspire you with two simple ideas that will keep the spirit of love alive all year round.

I found this simple tin box with a small slot at Walmart for $3.

For our homeschool co-op, I will be using buttons and playing cards to engage toddlers in interactive posting activities.

This Valentine’s Day pail with a wider slot sparked several new posting ideas for me. When it comes to home education, my top essential item has always been the pom-pom. The versatility, affordability, and kids’ love for them make pom-poms indispensable.

I discovered that the larger opening could also accommodate the vase filler I had purchased at the dollar store, adding a wintry touch to the activity! You can easily substitute it with any item you have on hand.
