Get the little ones involved in sending some warm and fuzzy #happymail to someone special, with today’s Bear Hug From Me Card kids craft idea!
SUPPLIES & DIRECTIONS:
- To complete this craft, all you need is a colored printer, some cardstock, scissors, adhesive and your child’s facial picture to make it happen.
- Simply download the FREE BEAR HUG CARD file first.
- Print it in color on white cardstock {be sure to unclick “fit picture to frame” before hitting print}
- Using scissors and/or a paper trimmer, trim out each section {you can make TWO cards with this printable!}
- Now trim out the circle part of each piece.
- Use adhesive to add your child’s facial picture to the back of the printable, in the center of it, to create the “bear face” of the craft.
- Then take your piece with the attached picture now and glue it to another sheet of cardstock, folded in half to create a 5×7″ card.
- The card aspect is done at this point but now it’s time for the embellishments! You can easily add glitter, bows on top – whatever the heart desires! You can even leave it as is {especially for the boys making this craft!}
- Then write a sweet message inside your masterpiece and mail and/or gift away!!!
