Let your child create his own personalized New Year’s cards this year.

You’ll Need:

Thick card stock sheet

Different colors of paint

Pencils with erasers at one end

Small sized containers to hold the paints

Prints of your favorite picture of your child

What You Can Do:

Cut the card stock into separate pieces depending on the size you want the card to be. Fold each piece into two.

Then, use a paper cutter to cut out a 3 ½ “ x 3 ½ “ square at the top of the card. You might want to change the size of the cut out depending on the size of your picture.

What Your Child Can Do:

Dip the eraser end of the pencil into the paint, and press against the card to create a little polka dot.

Continue doing this one color at a time, until the front and back of the card are covered in little colorful dots.

Remember to leave the top half of the card front untouched.

Open the card and stick the picture using cello tape, so the picture is visible from the outside.

If your child is able to write alphabets, make her write a message to the person receiving the card.

Remember to help your child mark these gifts with his name as the sender. These are his own personalized greeting cards, and will make him feel all grown up!
