Holiday Ideas: Children’s Activity

This doesn't not relate to food, but it does relate to the holidays, and I am so thrilled with how well it worked that I want to share it!

Every few years I order Christmas cards from the American Humane Society. So, every year I receive samples of the the current cards. The samples are just the front of the card. I have been saving them and this year bought construction paper, glue sticks, markers, and peel and stick foam Christmas decorations. My husband and I had the grandchildren this weekend (ages nine and five). I suggested we make Christmas cards.

They loved it!!! It was so simple to take a piece of construction paper, fold it in half, glue a card sample to the front, and then decorate as desired inside and out. They were really proud of what they created!

I highly suggest this as a holiday activity for the young children in your life. If you do not have sample cards, cut the backs off last year's Chirstmas cards.
