Easy Christmas Cards for Children

I think that Christmas cards that the children have made are a lovely thing to give, but often they can be messy, difficult, time consuming and complicated to make.  Not these.

Firstly you need:

Card

Masking tape

Green Paint

Sponges

Glue

Sequins or stars

Glitter

You start by cutting a tree shaped template in a piece of card.  The easiest way to do this is fold it in half.  You can make it as simple or fancy as you like.  I am simple lady myself.

Stick the template on to your card.  I also stick the card down to the table for minimad.

You can either use a sponge or just finger paint in the stencil (sponges are so much easier with small ones)

Watch out it can get messy - Mine wear the art smocks I made from MadDads old work shirts

Allow the cards to dry - MiniMad got a bit bored by this point and MaxiMad finished them off.

Decorate your trees

We used sequins, small stars and glitter

Glitter is always a favorite here

The finished articles, we tend to do them all shapes and sizes and do a few each week on the lead up to Christmas.

The deal is, if I have inspired you you do something similar with your chilren, then please add it to the McLinky Below.
