When I was young my parents would always make us send thank you cards or say "thank you" in person when someone did something kind for us. Birthday presents, attending events, and more were all in need of gratitude. And it's something that has always stuck with me.
Plus, it's easier to send a card than have an awkward conversation on the phone.
Nowadays I just love sending out cards for any reason but especially during holidays. What is more exciting that getting a little bit of love in the mail?
For this Valentine's we tweaked this idea into a card that my kids could make for their grandparents!
Instructions:
1. Cut colored card stock in half (the short way) so you'll have two pieces that are 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Those two pieces can now be folded in half for two cards.
2. Cut white card stock into rectangles that measure 5 x 4 inches. Place on top of the card to see if the colored border is evenly showing. You might need to trim the white card stock a bit.
3. Next choose paint colors (or you could use colored ink pads) and help the kids use their thumbs to make prints in a row on the white card stock.
4. Let dry and add text "Thumb-body Loves You" under the thumb prints.
5. Write a message inside and send off with love!
