Birthday card ideas for kids

Looking for an easy way to make homemade birthday cards from toddlers? Check out this easy trick – perfect for card making with toddlers. I’m always looking for cute greeting card ideas for my kids to make. There are so many fun cards out there that creatively use kids’ handprints and footprints. Although cute, I always had trouble getting one decent hand or footprint for a greeting card. Not to mention the mess it makes. As soon as my son was old enough to paint, I had him “paint” with cotton swabs, instead of paintbrushes, so he could easily dab the paint onto the paper. This kept the paint really confined but still allowed him to create artwork. (Sponge brushes and foam stampers are great for making cards with toddlers too.) As any toddler’s paintings would be, my little guy’s artwork was very abstract. 🙂 I was having him make birthday cards for all of the summer birthdays in our family. Yet, rather than give messy toddler paint prints, I thought of a great way to showcase his art but to also turn it into a nice-looking greeting card. 2 Related Posts Homemade Birthday Cards from Toddlers So after my son did a little abstract painting, I did a little cutting and gluing – and voila!
