What To Do With Those Christmas Cards

If you have toddlers or small children, here is little idea I've done two years now for my children with our family's and friend's Christmas cards.

-Get a poster board (usually .49-.99)
-Have your child color or decorate it how they like
-Take various family or friends' Christmas cards (I choose all of the cousins and friends we play with at playgroups).
-Cut out the faces of the people on the cards and have your child glue them all over the poster board. Hang it up to enjoy! Caroline loves to look and point at all of her cousins and friends!

clap, clap, clap. I tell you what Donna. Where do you come up with them? GENIUS idea! I'll keep this idea tucked away for sure.

Good idea! I'm sure my boys will color over the faces though.

btw - your family Christmas card was adorable. And so PROMPT! You're a machine girl!

Great idea Donna. I had to let you know that I went to Harris Teeter today and used some coupons today with the triples going on. It WAS thrilling!

Great idea! I am going to get a cork board for my kitchen to put my cards on, so I can remember to pray for all our loved ones.

I guess Caroline doesn't want to remember her aunts and uncles!!! hahaha

Great idea Donna. I have mine sitting in a basket still on the table, and when Norah is eating I pull them out and she says..."Caroline!...Sarah!...Again!" etc.

It's cute.

You are the clever one, Donna. Now, I didn't see mine anywhere so I assume that my picture is on the SECOND board you have posted around the house. Ha!
