I am one of those moms who like LOVE hands on projects! I know a lot of parents cannot stand the time of year when its time to make a Valentine box but I love it. Zach loves it too. I think it comes at a perfect time of year too. It's too cold to go outside a play for long amounts of time so we turn the end of January-1st of February into art project time after school. Zachary made it super easy on me this year because he wanted to do the EXACT same Valentine box that we did last year when he was in Pre-K. Last year "Aunt" Steph came over and helped Zachary, Elliott, & Jerrytt make 3D paper mache Angry Birds. Since we did it last year I knew exactly what supplies we needed, exactly how long it would take, and exactly what it would look like. We did not have to re-create the wheel to design Zach's box. So every afternoon from 4-5 we would work on the project.

Here's the Punch ball 25% done with a newspaper base.
Zachary at his class party! He was so proud of his Angry Bird! I was so thankful that my baby boy still likes mom to do projects with him and so thankful for our week long project so that I could have some deep conversations about his likes, dislikes, friends, and his favorite things.
