What’s Inside

• 1 envelope template labeled Love Letter

• 1 page with two love letter templates

• Love letter template includes the word love on the front and opens on the inside for a message

How to Use

• Students color the word love on the envelope

• Students cut out the envelope on the dotted lines

• Students fold on the solid lines, glue the flaps, and assemble the envelope

• Students fold the love letter and place it inside the envelope

• Add a message on the inside of the letter

• Use for students to send home to a family member, or as a whole-group SEL activity where the class helps create a love letter for each student

This pairs naturally with The Love Letter by Anika Aldamuy Denise, illustrated by Lucy Ruth Cummins, and supports conversations about kind words and how they make others feel.

Why It Works
This activity builds fine motor skills through coloring, cutting, folding, and gluing while also supporting SEL and classroom community. It’s simple to prep, meaningful to send home, and works especially well leading up to Valentine’s Day.
