If you have a box of art and craft materials and some card or paper then thats all you need for an easy peasy card making activity.
On Monday after the school run the twins were pretty tired and needed a quiet activity to get on with. So I set up the table with some PVA glue, some sequins, stickers, pens and paper and suggested they could make some cards or a picture. They could decorate it however they wished.
They decided to make some cards for their granny and I happily sat there chatting to them with a cup of tea.
After a little while their little brother came along and joined in with us too!
You can’t beat a home made card. My oldest two love making cards and we have a good stash of bits to stick onto them

This looks like so much fun! I seriously cannot wait until my daughter starts concentrating on one thing long enough for us to do things like this 🙂

Too cute .. these brought a huge smile to my face! I remember when my kids were little .. we made cards for everyone. Birthdays, anniversaries, you name it. Because really .. how much fun is to have something bright and cheery waiting in the mailbox?!
