Newspaper Cards

This morning the boys made newspaper birthday cards to send to their cousin in Colorado. It made for a great activity,and a good way to put some old newspapers to use. The younger boys got to work on letter recognition,they all showed awesome creativity,and hopefully their cousin will enjoy all of her cards.

All you need to do this craft are some old newspapers,ads,and or magazines, paper,glue,crayons,stencils,scissors,and imagination.

Decide what your message will be and cut out the letters from the newspaper. We also cut out pictures of things and foods we thought she would like. Glue the letters and pictures onto the paper. Embellish with stencils,hand written riddles,and hand drawn pictures.






Have a great day!
