FREE Valentine's Slotted Box

This one is for every parent who suddenly remembers classroom Valentines on February 13th. This free slotted box template is simple, sturdy, and quick to put together, which makes it perfect for classroom Valentine exchanges. It’s a rectangular box with a removable lid, and the lid has a slot so cards and Valentines can be dropped right in. You can also take the lid off completely to add larger treats or to empty it out easily at the end of the day. The finished box measures about 8 inches wide by 6.5 inches long and roughly 2.75 inches tall, so it fits plenty of Valentines without taking up a ton of desk

If you want the exact digital paper shown, you can find it here. This box works great with any patterned paper though, so you can swap the look for different holidays or themes and reuse the same template again and
