My 8 year old
daughter has never given a purchased card in her life. Not even for Valentine's day when she needs
32 cards. From the time she was old
enough to stick a sticker on a piece of paper she has made her own cards. I would buy foam stickers, stick a blank card
in front of her, peel the paper back and she would stick them on. There were a few years she made our family
Christmas cards. One year with the foam
stickers, a couple years with kits that I purchased from CTMH. She has progressed over the years and now
draws them, uses regular stickers, or with my help she uses the Cricut. She can work that machine better than I
can. Her eyes are better for seeing the
screen but also she just remembers which menu is where. She really only needs my help with the mat
and the machine is expensive so I'm overly careful.
Most kids love
arts-n-crafts. What a perfect way to
spend time with your children. Do you
paper craft with your kids? Share some
ideas here. I'd love some more ideas
that I can do with my daughter and now I just started a Brownie troop so I'll
need some for them too. Thank you for
sharing.
