Paper Bag Valentine Post Office Craft So many possibilities and extensions. A Valentine craft for everyone in your classroom. 13 different roof tops and 18 front of Post Office designs…let your kids choose their own designs to create their own Post Office Valentine Day card holder. I have used this simple craft in my room for years. Every year we create these Valentine Post offices. On Valentine’s Day the kids come in with their Valentine cards and delight in reading the names on the cards and delivering them to their correct Postal Box. Once the chaos is completed and all the Valentine cards are hand-out all I have to do is staple up the roof together and Voila! Valentines are packed up and ready to go home. The kids love colouring all the bits and pieces and then sticking them on to create their own unique Post Offices. I have created very easy houses…trim, colour and glue. For the more complicated Post Office, we start with the “basic” office…colour, cut and glue on the bits. Then, for the kids who excel in fine motor, they just love colouring, cutting and adding all the bits and pieces to their projects, including the sides and the back of the Post Office. Make this project as simple or complex as needed. I love adding the pieces to cutting trays in my Montessori classroom for cutting exercises. Included: • Printed craft templates • Picture how to page • Mix & Match Post Office parts • Step by step instructions More creative teaching ideas: • Check out my Pinterest Board at Ms Lil.

Adding on large Poppies or Message Ribbons will take an additional 45 to 60 minute blocks of time. I normally read a Peace storybook for my Kiddos. Then we create one large Poppy circle for each Peace related book, writing and drawing one element from the story that is important. Use this Peace project as the center piece for your Remembrance, Veterans, Anzac or Memorial Day units. In Elementary grades, keep this project simple. Colour or paint the lanterns. On the back of the flower embellishments have the kids write a sentence about what Peace Is. I love reading Todd Parr's book...Peace Is. In Intermediate Grades, on the back of the Poppies, have your kiddos research the different wars...record the name of the war and the death toll. I always find it shocking the number of people who have died to keep us safe. We shall never forget... In High School, especially in Grade 11 Socials, get the kids to research one of the wars or peace keeping missions. Either have them draw on or behind the words images of peace/war. Use the flowers or their own symbols of peace to add notes about their research. :: Poppy Craft :: Peace Poppies :: Fine Motor Crafts :: Poppy Crafts for Kids :: Poppy Activities :: Paper Lantern :: Ms Lil :: Remembrance Day Craft :: Veteran's Day Craft :: Memorial Day Craft :: Anzac Day Craft :: Remembrance Day Activity :: Veteran's Day Activity :: Memorial Day Activity :: Anzac Day Activity ::
