How to Make a Puppy Dog Valentine Box

First, download and print the puppy printable on white card stock. Cut them out. Next, cover the outside of the shoebox with white copy paper. Cover the lid and the box separately. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The puppy features will cover most of the box.

Cut out the black mouth. Place the head at the top of the lid for the box and trace the mouth opening with a pencil. The top of the head can stick out above the top of the box. Cut out the mouth area on the lid of the box.

Tape a piece of red paper on the inside of the lid. Tape only the top edge of the paper and leave the bottom free.

This will make the mouth look red but still allow cards to be dropped in the box.

Tips:

  • Be sure to have your child add their name to the heart the dog is holding. I didn’t get a picture of this.
  • Want to be more creative? Just use the puppy printables as a template. You can trace around them and vary the shapes and add your own expressions.
