Mailbox gift Bags

Valentine gifts for my daughters pre-kindergarten class

What's in the bag?...

You'll need to cut out the mailbox, the flag and the opening of the mailbox. 
Mailbox size = 5" x 3-3/4"--fold in half and curve edges

Your mailbox maybe a different dimension than mine, it will depend on the size of the bags you use.

 Have your kiddos help you put the mailbox together with glue

Whalla!

Type up some labels, cut out, and glue to the flag and opening.

I came up with this idea after my daughter glued everything together. 

Before gluing the opening on, cut a slit halfway up the black opening and slip the "letter" part-way in and glue, then glue the opening to the mailbox.





hmmm.  How to attach it to the bag?.....tape? glue dots? staples?

NOPE!

Paper Fasteners!

First I hole punched (small size) through the flag, mailbox and bag and then attached the fastener.  One pull from the preschoolers and their bag of treats will be free from their valentine.

Note: I didn't have any valentine colored fasteners, so I just took some acrylic paint and painted the gold fastener tops white. 

Use what ya have...that's my motto!
