Football Field Classroom Valentine Box for Boys

Football Field Classroom Valentine Box for Boys . . . your little sports fan with love making this box to hold his classroom valentines!

Like any mom of boys, when Valentine’s Day rolls around, I have to come up with a box to hold classroom valentines. It can’t be pink, ruffly, cute, or have anything at all to do with love! Last year I found a photo of a Football Field Classroom Valentine Box, but couldn’t find any actual instructions. So I came up with my own. And I also had to come up with a football field that could be printed.

Football Field Classroom Valentine Box- includes free printable!

Not going to lie- it was a lot of work getting all those lines and numbers right. So I’m sharing it with you, because I want it to be put to good use! The hardest part about this project is making all those little “fans”. If I would have started earlier, I would have had my son help. But he was in bed by the time I got to that part. Hence the less than stellar photos for some of the steps. But they are good enough for you to get the idea, and this was such a hit with my son and his friend that I just had to share. So here ya go:

Football Field Classroom Valentine Box Tutorial

Supplies:
-Shoe box with a hinged lid
-Craft paint and brushes
–Free printable football field
-Wire and wire cutters
-Glue and Duck Tape

Instructions:

1-Paint your shoe box. We painted the bottom black and the top white, but you can do whatever colors you like.

Valentine Card Holder for BoysTo make the goal post part, cut a piece of wire about 2″ long. Push it through the bended end, and form it into a square shape.You know, so it looks like a goal post.  I wrapped mine around an old fork handle. (You will need to make two of these, one for each end.)

To attach the goal posts, just poke them through the top of the box. Then unfold the wire under the lid. Cover the wire with Duck Tape to hold it in place.

    Is there a way to make the field a bigger size?

      Some printers have an option to print larger, that would be the easiest. Or you could have it enlarged at a printer. Good luck!

    Me and my boy were going crazy trying to decide what to do. I thought of a football field but had no idea how to accomplish it. I’m so glad I found your box and printable field. Thank you so much!
