Christmas Card Making

Peder had the idea that this year he wanted to make 3-D pop-out Christmas cards for ALL his classmates at school as well as his teacher and his principal. Mark thought it was a great idea but I had memories from last year when we (meaning ME) made about 4 cards and it was PAINFUL. I felt like a Scrooge so we proceeded. I collected the materials (Peder had very specific ideas about decorating the cards) and Mark did much of the preparation of the 3-D pop-out stuff. It was a huge success and I realized that Peder, in one year, has really gotten much more patient about putting together a project. Also, Peder's writing skills have really improved and he really whipped out those greetings. The girls in his class got reindeer cards and the boys got the blue snowman cards. His teacher and principal got red Santa cards. He was so proud. Guess we'll be doing it again next year! Here's a link to the book for anyone interested: The Christmas Book (by Jane Bull)
