Hello Wonderful Families,
This season, it’s kindness and connection that matter most.
Here are some simple crafts and card ideas—no fancy supplies required!
1. Homemade Holiday Cards
Fold any paper in half.
Let your child draw, colour, or add stickers.
Help them write “Happy Holidays!” or “Thinking of you!”
Deliver to a neighbour, friend, or family member—these simple cards mean so much.
2. Recycled Decorations
Use old magazines, packaging, or scrap paper to cut out shapes (stars, trees, hearts).
String them together for a unique garland or mobile.
3. “Kindness Coupons”
Help your child make “coupons” for kind acts (a hug, help with chores, reading a story).
Give them to family members as gifts.
4. Repurpose Artwork
Ever wondered what to do with all your child's drawings, paintings and artwork?
Repurpose them into Christmas cards - fold in half and use as a card or leave unfolded and just write the message on the back.
I used my children's artworks to send out as thank you notes for gifts they received over Christmas.
This is such a good way to reuse and share their artwork with grandparents and extended family, plus it makes us not feel bad just throwing it away.
Remind your child: It’s the thought that counts—every handmade gift is special.
