These Valentine’s Day Treat Boxes are super cute and are easy and fun to make for Valentine’s Day!
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.
My kids enjoyed making them and they are ready for the Valentine’s fairy to fill (A.K.A mom or mom and dad).

We love Him, because he first loved us (1st John 4:19).
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.
First we're taping the top of the cereal box closed. Put tape along the flap, and also along the short ends — like taping a carton for mailing. Look at your box and see how it's already shaped like a suitcase. All we need to do is separate the box into a suitcase and a lid.
Place a cereal box in the drawer and mark where the top of the drawer hits on the box. Cut the box all the way around on the line. Repeat for as many boxes as you need to fill your drawer. Now you can cover each box with wrapping paper.
When the fibers become too thin to create strong corrugated cardboard, they are then used for a class of cardboard called paperboard. Paperboard or chipboard boxes are used for cereal boxes, cake mix boxes and cases of pop.
Paperboard is a lightweight, recyclable material often used for food and dry products. Things like cereal boxes, juice boxes and milk cartons. Bakery boxes, what your delicious donuts and pastries come in, are also paperboard. Paperboard is also used for medicine, cosmetics, shoe and tissue boxes.
Chipboard is used by most cereal manufacturers because it is cheap and readily available. Other manufacturers may also use cardboard to create their cereal boxes. The bag inside that holds the cereal is made of plastic.
Another option for custom cereal boxes is to have them printed with custom designs or artwork. Custom printed cereal boxes can be used to promote a brand or to tie in with a particular event or holiday. They can also be used to create a unique cereal experience for customers.
Cereal packaging often uses bright colours and characters or mascots to create playful, fun, and innovative designs to appeal to audiences young or old.
