Valentine Village

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students build a small city by using a half-gallon milk or juice carton to "build" a miniature home. They decorate their buildings with construction paper, yarn, beads, or whatever they have and become mailmen, delivering Valentine's to each others addresses.
