DIY Christmas cards with kids

I always try to squeeze out time to do some kind of art and craft activity with Zoey. Admist a very hectic schedule at work place ( really hectic these days) , this activity was indeed a stress buster, and we had fun making these awesome and totally adorable Christmas cards.

When I started hunting for ideas to make Christmas cards with Zoey ( 3 yrs old ) , I was wanting to keep it simple, so that we dont sweat over making it, and she could easily participate. Getting fancy card stock can be quite daunting in India, especially if you are trying to get them from the nearest stationery stock, hence I kept it simple with a few colored hand made paper, glitter pens and glitter glue, some ribbons .

Cut out 5″ Circles of green stock. I used the wave pattern scissor . I got an entire set of 6 scissors for Rs 160 ! These come in a variety of shapes like these. They should be available at any stationery shop, since I got mine at a very humble nearest school supplies store. Cut these circles into half. Each half will give you one tree
