Prompt: December 6
While I’ve been away I’ve had letters from friends
And each one has brightened my day.
I wonder if we could grab paper and pens
And send some good cheer on its way.
Let’s make a holiday card for someone we won’t get to see
in person this holiday season!

An image of the Dec. 6 prompt card, printed on cream card stock with an orange border and an orange frog wax seal. The card is nestled in a lit Christmas tree.
Materials
Any art supplies you would like to use to make cards. We’ll use colored card stock, crayons, glue, and some old buttons we have laying around to create Christmas Tree cards like the one pictured here. This year I think we’ll also try making our own envelopes!
A homemade holiday card. A piece of cream card stock is folded in half, and construction paper and colorful old buttons simulate a decorated Christmas tree.
Activity
This was one of my absolute favorite activities from last year, and it’s one my kids still talk about regularly. We’ll make cards to send to some friends and family we’ve been missing just to spread some cheer. As we craft, we’ll talk about the people we miss and what we love about them.
