a handful of christmas card ideas

 
I think it is going to be hard to limit myself to a handful, but here are some ideas for making Christmas cards with your children …

1. Cut pictures from old cards, wrapping paper or Christmas-themed magazines and make a collage.  You could use a paper punch (for example a circle) for cutting out to tie the look together.
2. Cut up your potatoes to make Christmas stamps.  The easy way to create the Christmas picture on the potato, push in a cookie cutter and cut around the outside.
3. Kids Craft Weekly has got not 1 but 2 fabulous newsletters with ideas for making cards – simple cards and fancy cards
4. send an ecard from JibJab.  These are a lot of fun, you can create cards or movies.  [WARNING: not all the cards available on this site are child-friendly, you will want to supervise your children].  You can see my card here.
