DIY Greeting Cards for 3-6 year kids

Craft time.. Craft time.. Favorite time for my kid an me too...

Generally we prepare very small and simple greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries etc. It is all fun and learning too.. I make sure that kid puts maximum work in this with minimal support from me/dad, rather than me doing all the work. Even if I want to help, he won't allow me much :-) Until last year, we used to buy small greeting card kits and my kid used to decorate that with stickers in that kit. Now we started using card board sheets or empty strore bought cards and decorate that. I know they are very very simple, silly at times and not tooooo good looking. But we can't expect more from such small kids. They are big tasks for that age!!

What is in this for kids?!?!?!

  • Funnnnnnnnnn
  • Confidence
  • Creativity
  • Fine motor skills
  • Logical and imaginary skills
  • Concentration

What is in this for mommy/daddy!!!!

  • Make your naughty munchkin sit with you
  • Funnnnnnn
