LEGO Valentine's Box & Printable Card Gifts

BUILDING BLOCK VALENTINE

Building blocks are one of the toys that are most played with in our house and we wanted to make a Valentine that went along with them to give to our school mates!  We included a printable for this paper craft and idea to go along with the theme if you would like to make a recyclable Valentine box for school.  Our children use the recycling bin as a source for creating and each year we have been transforming Kleenex boxes into something creative to collect one’s Valentine’s Day cards!

How to make your LEGO Valentine’s Card

Printable LEGO Valentine Card 

  • Purchase your building blocks.  I find that buying a big box and then splitting it up is the most economical.

Who doesn’t love LEGO?!
  • Print your valentine cards on cardstock in the colour of your choice.  When making Valentine’s we always print a few extra to account for any errors that might occur or if a new classmate joins the class.  You could also colour them in if you like!

  • With the assistance of an adult, fill and close your Valentine with building blocks. Glue along the tabs with the smallest ones going in first, followed by the largest ones for the exterior. We found that a glue gun was the best for this (and our kid love using it), however, you could use a good glue stick as well.

Time for your LEGO Valentine’s Mailbox
  • With the help of an adult, cover your box with duct tape of your choice.  (You could also paint your box or cover it with construction paper if you like.  We found that the duct tape added a bit of strength to the box.). Our daughter shows you a little trick for making the corners sharp.
