The kids and I hunkered down at the kitchen table and got to work yesterday morning and I am not exaggerating when I say that these took us most of the day to complete. We did take a lunch break, but that was about it. We had lots of fun putting these together - the decorating was by far the most enjoyable. :) I wish that I had taken pictures of the kids working or of my kitchen table, which quickly became a disaster zone, but I was too busy decorating my boat!
The "boat" is made from a half-gallon orange juice (or in our case soy milk) carton. For more directions, go check out Family Fun magazine. The instructions include some measurements and tips. I personally LOVE my heart-shaped puffs of steam (that was my one original idea). Cute, huh?
Just in case you were curious about how the kiddos' boxes turned out, here's Jevin's box...
... and this is Enavi's box.
Too fun! Now we get to fill them with Valentine's Day goodies!

Cutest Love Boats I've ever seen! You either gulped alot of milk, or this was planned for that proverbial "some" day!
Love them! What a fun project - and a great way to share the snow day with your kiddos! Thanks for sharing.
Jen, your boats are absolutely adorable! I love how the 3 of you each included your own unique touches. I don't have to wonder where your kids got their creative talents from....
