Greeting Card for Someone You Love – Creative Activity

A greeting card is a simple and touching way to tell someone how much they mean to you. Kids create it alone or together, glue, draw, and decorate – turning plain paper into a meaningful gift. It's a perfect idea for special days or calm activities at home or in the classroom. These creations also develop emotional and social skills like listening, consideration, and the ability to give from yourself to someone else.

What you'll need of this activity:

Let's get started

Cut out all the pieces

Cut all parts like puzzle pieces – along the dashed lines. At this stage, don’t cut the characters themselves, just separate the squares.

Glue onto colorful paper

Glue the pieces onto colorful paper. If you don't have any, you can skip this step and color the pieces later however you like.

Cut out the shapes

Now that they’re glued to colorful paper, cut out the shapes of each piece along their outlines.

Assemble the puzzle pieces

Glue the pieces onto the second activity page where the fox and duck characters stand – according to their drawn feet. Use the small reference example on the first page to place them correctly.

Draw eyes and hands

Use a marker or black pen to draw the fox's eyes and arms hugging the duck. Again, refer to the small example on the first page.

Add a colorful background

To make a nice cover for your card, use a sheet of colored paper. If you don’t have any, you can just decorate the back of the card instead.

Fold in half

Align the corners and gently press to fold your card in half.

Decorate the card

Glue or color decorations and stickers on the front and back of your card.

Write your greeting

Using a pen, marker, or pencil, write a nice message to the person you're making the card for.
