• An empty tissue box
• Construction paper
• Scissors (adult supervision may be needed while cutting paper)
• Glue stick
• Markers, crayons or colored pencils
• Optional: popsicle sticks, googly eyes, pom poms, sequins, feathers and pipe cleaners

Directions

Use the opening of a tissue box as your mail slot and glue construction paper around the box.

Note: you may need to cut the construction paper to fit the different sides of the tissue box.

Once the tissue box is covered, create your monster!

Ideas include:

• Cut shapes out of other pieces of construction paper and glue them on.
• Use colored pencils, markers or crayons to decorate the monster in scales or other designs.
• Glue feathers, pom poms and other craft items onto the box.
• Once the monster has been created to your liking, allow the box to dry.
• Set your Monster Valentine’s Day Mailbox out on your school or office desk on Monday, February 14, 2022, with a sign that says, FEED ME!
