valentine mailboxes

I've always loved checking the mail.


I found these little tin mailboxes a few months ago and bought enough to fill with Valentine treats for each of my little students.


A silver Sharpie,


a little box of chocolate truffles, some funky erasers, neon mechanical pencils (so cool in their opinion.... and mine :) with glittery rubber grips (also great for assisting their developing fine motor skills), stamps, notepads, a little douse of magic*, and some lip gloss for girls and globe-shaped pencil sharpeners for boys.



I think they'll enjoy getting the mail today.

*The little yellow "pill" you see inside the box is NOT an illegal or mind-altering object. It's a foam-filled capsule that swells into the shape of a jungle animal when you drop it in hot water.

  1. Whew ... so relieved to know what that yellow capsule is! I was gettin' concerned. Just kidding :)

    What a fun day for your students to hear the words "You've got mail!" ... There you go again, living up to your screen name :)
