Now that we have a kiddo in Elementary school I’m realizing how truly inadequate I am at crafts. So far, we’ve needed to create a “storybook” costume (they specified no store-bought, had to be homemade), a “100 days” shirt craft, and next up is a Valentine box for the classroom.
Y’all. My lack of craftiness is showing up strong. Example: this is the shirt my son wore for the 100 days celebration:
For Valentine boxes I’m determined to be more organized and plan ahead better, so I collected some options from some blogging friends for inspiration. And maybe specific instructions because this is just NOT my area.
I found some ADORABLE ideas though, I think this might be a fun project to do together!
