My kids are 5 and 7. They will go and play all day, but when I work on my cards or scrapbooks, or any such project in my craft area, my kids follow me like lost puppies and want to join right in.
This particular project is great for a variety of occasions, I first had my kids make Christmas cards for the grandparents.
I found stencil sets (6 per book) at Amazon.com (you will find I am a HUGE Amazon fan) from Dover Little Activity Books, each one is $1.50 (and if you buy 3 the 4th is free). The stencils are made out of sturdy paper and they have a wide selection- we personally own 2 Christmas books, dinosaurs, and fairies.
I use white paper the size of a card, have then trace the stencil on the “front,” then color it.
For Christmas they used colored glitter glue to decorate the traced designs. Whatever they use, it makes a cute card, it’s easy enough, and it keeps them entertained for quite some time. On top of that- it’s inexpensive and the grandmothers will LOVE IT! What more could you ask for?
