It’s pretty ironic that I’m sharing this “get well” post today.
My family is still battling a really bad cold since Christmas Eve and it’s been a roller-coaster ride battling this sickness. But like always – we’re making due. It’s just another excuse for us to lounge around and be lazy – especially with the holidays and year coming to an end. {I’m hoping my optimistic thoughts will make the sickies go away faster!}
Lil Man and I actually made these “Get Well Soon Band-aid Cards” a few weeks back. The plan was to keep them stored away until someone we knew, was under the weather. Essentially, a nice surprise to make them smile. Little did I know – we would all need our own pick me up soon!
Here is what we used for our cards:
Supplies:
* Various Band-aids {Dollar Tree is great to stock up on them!}
* Stamps/Ink Pad
* Cardstock
* Wiggle Eyes
* Glue Dots/Glue
* Sharpie Marker
The directions are simple and totally customizable to what you need & want to do. When it comes to kid crafts I like to give room for creativity.
Directions:
To start – I folded our cardstock in half to make our card.
Next – giving Lil Man full control – I allowed him to stamp a design on the front of the card.
This was followed by handing him a handful of band-aids and telling him to stick them on the card.
To finish – we glued on wiggle eyes to the band-aids, to give the little dudes life. Then I wrote “Get Well Soon” on the front of the card.
If you have some extra band-aids laying around – this is the perfect “simple” craft to do with the kids one afternoon. It doesn’t have to be a “get well soon” card either. Band-aids are pretty cheap and can be used to make a one-of-a-kind collage.
Just like stickers – peel the backing and have them stick them on paper or any other surface. If you pick up a box at Dollar Tree – band-aids can be cheaper than stickers. Think of it as a way to step out of the box. Really get those creative juices flowing!
Have a GREAT Monday!
