Directions:

  • First trim down a sheet of white cardstock paper to fit to the front of your card front. This will be the “sky” for your sun. You can use scissors or a paper trimmer for this step. You will want the white piece to be slightly smaller than the folded card, so you have some color around the edges.
  • Glue the freshly cut piece to the card front. Repeat for each card you are making.
  • Next grab ONE paper doily per card and a yellow crayon.
  • Color the paper doily carefully, completely yellow. You can also skip this step and buy pre-made yellow paper doilies if desired.
  • Next glue your colored paper doily to the center of your cardstock card front.
  • Take the yellow crayon and draw lines coming from the sun to make “sun beams.”
  • Finish off your Sunshine Cards by gluing on the wiggle eyes and drawing on a mouth with the black Sharpie marker.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then write a sweet message on the outside {like “sending you some sunshine!” as well as something clever inside, before mailing away!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
