Valentine Craft Idea

This one is really cute for young children.
Box of Kisses

Materials
Small Box - small earring or matchbox,Wrapping Paper,Ribbon


Take a small box open it and get your child to 'blow kisses' inside.
Close quickly so none can escape!!
Wrap the box in gift paper and tie with some festive ribbon.

These can be given as gifts to keep or even hang them on a Christmas tree as a decoration.
Its a simple idea but very touching and what Grandma or Grandad wouldn't want something so special. You just couldn't buy that sort of gift, its priceless

Hint
Add a gift card that says "Filled with kisses from (child's name)" or have your child put a small handprint on the card.
