My girl needed to decorate a shoe box for the valentine exchange in her class. I covered a shoe box with some paper that she picked out (Basic Grey and Sassafrass Lass in the house!) and then she decorated it further:

I loved how she painted the word "tough" on the side. Wow, to express the absurdity and alienation of Valentine's day so simply--who knew such existential thought would come from an 8-year-old. Alas, Velina corrected me--it actually spells "laugh". Not quite the next Simone de Beauvoir, but it'll do...for a 3rd grader.
