A Kid Craft that “Shares the Love”! {Homemade Cards!}

0

Good ol’ Snail Mail.  

I may very well be its #1 fan.  The dare I say, old-fashioned way of sending sentiments? No, just  the contrary, in my eyes, as  I will never tire of sending nor receiving the hand-written note of a loved one.

Naturally, I am also a very big fan of technology and its ever-growing presence in keeping families, friends and communications closer.

But as I find myself immersed in the phase of my kids coloring, painting, & drawing daily, I feel compelled to “share the love”.  New mini masterpieces cling to my fridge each day for a reason.  They are the work of my little wonders.

And yes, maybe my motivation slightly stems from losing fridge room and losing it fast!  But my heart breaks each time I think of “recycling” these unique pieces.

My plan?  Combining craft time and coloring in effort to “share the love” and create homemade cards!

I used blank card stock and envelopes for a small decoration & sentiment.

From kisses with mommy’s lipstick to finger paint handprints, the craft is coming together!

I then show them how I address the letters after asking who they would like to send the special artwork to!  Kids love mail so if I can make it a weekly event, it’s just one more thing for them to look forward to!

Talk about efficiency!  

I hope your kids love this kid craft that shares the love as much as mine have!
