Valentine Mailbox Contest for Dolls

Examples of the doll sized Valentine mailbox crafts.

        Dolls at Trinity Church School in Dollville will have our annual, crafty Valentine mailbox contest this year. Each of our participating doll contestants must enter their own hand-crafted mailbox under one of the following themes: Sporty, Traditional, Animal, Architecture, Sweet Shop, Monster, Fairy Tale, Mother Goose Rhyme, Transportation or Dress Up. Every box must include: 

  • A "slot"cut into their creation for student Valentines to fit through or a removable lid.
  • A title that somehow describes the doll's mailbox craft.
  • An assigned number (sticker) corresponding to the student artist's name, so that judges would not know which mailbox belonged to which doll until the end of the contest.
  • Each box must also be transported to school on the day of the contest prior to 8:00 inside the fifth grade classroom where it would be displayed on top of a student desk.
  • No mailbox may measure larger then five inches in height or width. (Because this mail is for our dolls of course!)

       If you would like to hold a similar Valentine mailbox contest, I've included a link below that shows how we make "award ribbons" for our winners.

       See how our dolls made their very own mailboxes, the Valentines they received, their awards and some party pics that were taken afterwards while dolls had their treats and played games:
