Handprint Strawberry BERRY MUCH Card Idea
Now that I’ve shared Valentine’s Day gift ideas for kids, friends, your child’s teacher and even your significant other – it’s time to focus on the grandparents today!
Today’s latest and greatest tutorial is actually a super easy kid gift idea was a “spur of the moment” craft the other night. After playing around with some ideas in my head,I’m so glad I took the time to create it with my son. With just a few simple steps, we were able to make this “Berry Much” Valentine Handprint Strawberry Card within minutes and get it in the mail the very next day even faster!
Since we are military, we live pretty far away from both our families. So handprint crafts like this one made by our son, is extra special to send to the grandparents. Sides that – handprint crafts are just the best to do at this age anyways. With kids growing so fast these days, it’s great to create keepsakes to remember those tiny hands.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and make these “berry” cute paper strawberry cards to send the grandparents today. Don’t forget to make one for yourself too and throw it in a scrapbook for safe keeping!
Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished handprint strawberry card with us on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts
