DIY Cereal Box Valentine’s Boxes – At Home With Zan (3)

Have any cereal boxes laying around? Why not have the kids use them to make their own Valentine’s Day boxes? My kids did and I think they turned out very pretty.

You buy ready-made boxes from the store and use them as is or embellish them with Valentine’s day color items. But creating our own from things we had on hand, turned out too cute and was so much fun to do. I even helped and enjoyed the process.

Originally, I had discussed making boxes with the kids then while out at the store, decided to go with some pre-made ones. We ended up putting them back later. I’m happy we did because I really wanted to try making them from scratch this time.

I remember making cereal box crafts as a kid. The outcomes were very fun to look at. I wanted to let my kids try a craft with cereal boxes too. Not only as a way to create something fun out of a box but also as a way to show the kids that these boxes can be recycled and repurposed and designed as they liked.

Dad and I put those together last night for our Happy Kids. They may no longer be 5 but those stuffies are still bringing them joy. We went big with those teddy’s & panda this year! It was helpful to know they loved them when they saw them at the store. I only wished we’d gotten the pink teddies for the girls but the tan is cute too. So fun!!

The outfit she she chose for the 101 day of school, Dalmatian day technically. Since it was also school group picture day, she wanted to be all dressed up. Some kids were dressed up, some in Dalmatian type dress-down clothing, & others in uniforms🤷🏻‍♀️. That was some planning😀😀👌But this girl is such a fashionista. And to top things off, I added some black and white extensions to her hair.

101 Days of School/Dalmatian Day. My son wanted to reuse a shirt we decorated last year. We simply brightened up the paws and dots with a fabric paint (we couldn’t find our black fabric marker). Worked out great! It was also class group picture day at school yesterday so my daughter went all out with her black and white.

100 Days of School/Wed Feb 7. Last year, our son had a fever and couldn’t stay at school. He was hoping to not be sick this year on that day. He wasn’t but he and our eldest came down a 24 hr fever-congestion something over the weekend😀 Our daughter’s lasted a little longer but feeling better. Also, his bowtie and pipe are missing in the photos. And why is this cane we ordered with the outfit a blow-up😂 And…. I just realized he took off the fake mustache too but kept the eyebrows😀.
