Activity #506: Facilitate thank you notes with a personal *touch*

Fingerpainting for toddlersCarolyn sent us this activity for the brave:

My son couldn’t help write the thank you notes for his first birthday but he could help make the cards! I put him in his high chair, wearing only a diaper.

I got out some heavy paper and non-toxic, washable finger paints, squirted a little paint on the paper, and let him have at it! He had a great time and the cards were beautiful. I thought this might be a fun idea for Christmas thank you notes.

    I gave my son a rubber stamp pad with a star shape and some pretty gold ink & let him go to town on our cards. They turned out beautiful :)

    In a similar vein, I had my one-year-old stamp hand and footprints on archival-quality colored paper, then cut the paper down to card size. The thank you notes turned out really cute and it’s a good memento of how small my little wonderful is this year.
