What little kid doesn't love getting mail? Here's something fun to send to a kid you know. Grab all your paper punches (or scissors!) and cut out a bunch of shapes from construction paper, scraps or even pretty junk mail or magazine ads. Put it all in a card and envelope with instruction that the punch-outs and stickers can be used to make a collage. This may seem like a mundane idea, but the reason I'm sharing it is because of what occurred at our house on Monday. While making an envelope of punch-outs for a friend's little boy, I gave my constant-activity-needing, bored-by-stuff-in-five-minutes, almost-three-year-old toddler some of the punch-outs and a non-toxic glue stick to make her own collages. No exaggeration, it kept her busy for nearly an hour. It was like a miracle.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I can tell you one kiddo LOVED receiving this!!!
Mine loves that too, and it's a great way to use up bits of old scrapbook paper. She loves looking through all the patterns. Sometimes she plays with them and doesn't even make anything.
this sure is a sweet idea ashlee. what kid, or grown up for that matter, wouldn't love all those bright colors!
