In the end, we settled on this idea of making Confetti Heart Boxes Valentines because it was the most fun to make of the bunch and we could make enough for all his classmates. It has the added benefit of being a non-candy valentine that the kids love. Our Confetti Heart Boxes Valentines project is also great for fine motor and hand-strengthening practice.

Materials for Your Confetti Heart Boxes Valentines:

Colored Construction Paper or Card Stock

Red Glitter and other embellishments (optional)

Glue Sticks

Computer/Printer

Heart Hand Punch 

Heart-Shaped Cardboard Boxes (I got mine at Michael’s)

Homemade Gifts Made Easy

Create and print your message on your computer (I used noteworthy for my font and 12pt)

Cut out your message so that you can later glue it to your box lid.

Step 2: Making Confetti Heart Boxes Valentines

Cover your lid with glue, attach the message and sprinkle with glitter. Attach any other embellishments you may have.

Glue the sender’s name inside the box on the bottom surface.

While that’s drying, punch out several hearts in various colors.

We covered one of our hearts with glue and sprinkled it with red glitter.

Put all of the hearts inside the box.

My little one loves working with glitter which is why we chose that medium but this heart boxes Valentines project lends itself to many variations. You could cover the little boxes with colored tissue paper or even paint them. You could also fill the box with a sweet treat but my little boy sure enjoyed punching out those hearts and I think his friends will love their heart-shaped confetti.

Have a Fun and Happy Valentine’s Day!
