It's a felt board and a holiday greeting all in one! Not only do
you get a kid-created card out of this activity, but your child gets to play in
an artsy way, build fine motor skills, learn about colors and even practice
some math (geometry, patterns and part to whole relationship). You can go one
of two ways with this Christmas card: 1. Use glue. Choosing this option lets
your child make a permanent greeting (and keeps the felt pieces in place). 2.
Don’t use glue. Why wouldn’t your child use glue? He can make a ‘pieces pouch’
inside of or on the back of the card, including parts of the scene or design
that he’s planned out. Friends and other family members (who are children) can
then puzzle together the felt pieces and create their own Christmas décor.
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
8x10-inch
sheets of craft felt (in different colors)
·
Scissors
·
Clear-drying
school glue
·
Cardboard
(reuse the front of an old box)
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Cut the
cardboard into a rectangle. Choose the size based on how large you want the
card to be (it needs to be smaller than the craft felt sheets).
2. Sandwich
the cardboard between two craft felt sheets.
3. Fold the
felt and cardboard in half, making a card.
4. Glue the
felt to the board. Let your child paint it on with a thin brush. While the glue is still wet you may need to slide the felt
around to make room for the fold.
5. Cut any
excess felt from around the edges.
6. Create
felt pieces that make up a Christmas scene. For example, your child could cut a
green triangle to make a tree, a brown square for the tree stump and colorful
circles as ornaments.
7. Puzzle
together the pieces on the front of the card.
8. Optional:
Glue the pieces to the felt on the front.
9. Or, your
child can cut another sheet of felt in half. Glue the bottom and sides to a
middle page or the back of the card, making a pocket.
10. Stash
the pieces for the front in the pocket.
11. Use the
markers to write a message in the center of the card.

ReplyDeleteThere is never enough time, and not everyone is crafty. However, if you're searching for a kids' art activity and have some free time (at least enough to encourage the kids to get creative), why not attempt this homemade holiday greeting card?

It is good fun and art because I have never seen such a printing card on Christmas occasion. Christmas is the best day for Christians to celebrate the birthday of Hazrat Essa who was the prophet of Allah. dissertation writing services
