Christmas card ideas please

[PixiePetal]

Ok so now the decs are down, any good ideas (apart from recycling!) of what to make or do with the cards - I have a 3 and 6 yr old on Tues and would like to have something crafty to do with them.

My mind is blank Both boys enjoy and are good with crafts.

We make thankyou cards for parents, thanking them for the lovely christmas presents. Older children often make several, handy for other relatives

We also make christmas pictures and use them to talk about christmas, good for language development

Lastly they are great for scissor practice my younger children are just starting to snip
