Objective:  To decorate a valentine holder.

Directions:  The first thing you need to do is to decide what you want to use to hold the valentines (basket, covered shoebox, cereal box, paper bag, etc.).  The only guideline is that it must be able to stand up by itself on the table.  After you have decided on the container, you will need to use different materials to decorate the holder (markers, tissue paper, paint, ribbon, glitter, buttons, felt, fabric, lace, etc.). Your child's name must be clearly labeled in bold letters and easily visible on the front of the container when standing upright on the tables.  (Friends will need to see the names quickly while passing out their valentines.)       

Due Date:  Valentine holders should be completed by Friday, February 12, and returned to school to share on or before that day.  As always, students will spend time sharing their valentine holder with the class and talking about how their family worked together to create it.
