Why buy cards when you can make them ! 

If you’re a regular reader of my blog you will be aware that before going on maternity leave I was a nursery manager . I have worked with children since I left school. I have found I have taken a lot of what I did at work into my new role as being a mommy . Especially when comes to making cards.

When at nursery we would make cards for every occasions . I never really thought much about the sentimental value of these cards. Since having Ava I have now realised how lovely these child made cards are.

Since Ava was a few months old I have made cards for my loved ones for all occasions. The happiness on their face when they see these cards are amazing . They are so grateful that I have taken the time to make them . They also have a fab little keep sake to keep for ever.

How much does it all cost to make cards ?

They are so easy to make and so cheap to do . I brought 2 packs of card from my local market for £1 and then the paints are from ALDI for around £3. All my ideas come from searching through Pinterest . You don’t have to be artistic to be able to make a card with you little one .

I have also found introducing Ava to painting and other sensory play from an early age. Has enabled her to love messy play and not be afraid to get messy .

Messy play isn’t just for nursery you can do it at home really easy . Start with making your loved ones a card for special occasions . Just think about all the pennies you can save !
