Holiday Cards with Kids
Posted: November 26, 2011 Filed under: Child Centered Activities 4 CommentsSuper simple – cut some sponges into shapes ahead of time and use to make holiday prints on cardstock. We used acrylic paints which I put out in small amounts at a time. You can top off with glitter or add to w/other materials (colored pencils, markers, crayons, oil pastels) after the paint has dried.
Lovely, B and E. Send me one!

I love making Christmas cards – I’m making my own this very afternoon. Ella has many happy years making them ahead of her with this beautiful start.
i love the notion of a child making beauty for the holidays and the magic of sending it forth. slipping it into an envelope, addressing, sticking on just the right stamp. the imagining its journey as it sails from your mail box into the mailboxes of friends and faraway family all over the land. i also LOVE your beautiful art plate, that white with blue swirls. you are such a fine teacher, and such a beautiful mother. xoxoxox
It looks pretty already! How fun.
