Halloween Cards

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not the most artistic or creative person, but since Avery started pre-school, I've been getting a few good ideas for projects to work on with Avery. At the beginning of October, we made some Halloween cards and sent them to our families. It was a fun project for an afternoon, and it was a good way to get Avery into the Halloween spirit. Our families really enjoyed getting a card from Avery in the mail, as well.

I used construction paper to make the cards. I cut out some pictures of pumpkins, ghosts, and witch hats, and then traced an area in the card for Avery to glue them onto the card. Avery loves using the glue stick, and is really good about trying to keep the glue in the lines. She matched the pictures to their shapes herself, and glued them in!

She then added a few stickers and we were good to go! They turned out pretty cute, and Avery was very proud of them. She loves doing crafts like these, so I plan on doing more things like this soon! It will also be a great way for her to be busy while I am taking care of the new baby.
