Making Cards- The Toddler Way

by Rebecca on February 22, 2010

We all know grandparents love getting cards from toddler grandchildren with scribbles and special stickers on them.  Even though toddlers don’t know what they’re doing, it’s still fun to receive a homemade card with the “signature” of that cute two year old.

Lydia loves scribbling away while chattering about Grandma Diamond or Grandma and Grandpa Brown.  She is even at a stage where she adamantly chooses which card goes to which grandparent.  Somehow, each scribble has meaning to her.

Until now, scribbles, stickers and glued on shapes have been the means of making cards for our family members. 

But we’ve come across an even cuter way to do personalized toddler cards.

This is a Valentine Lydia received from her almost 2 year old friend, Jack.

Making a card this way serves so many purposes.

1. You can see that all the letters of her name are used in the card, so it was made personally for Lydia. 

2. You can also see that it was made personally by little Jack because of the way the letters and hearts are arranged.

3. Jack got a lesson in letters and shapes while he applied his stickers.

4. Lydia loves picking out the letters of her name while she carries the card around the house. 

It’s cute, it’s creative, it’s personal, and it inspires learning.  It’s the perfect way for a toddler to make a card!

Very, very cute! We’re big on foam stickers (I even posted about our foam sticker adventure today too!).
