Won-doh-ful Holiday Cards

These playful holiday cards are perfect for gifting to your kid's classmates. It's both fun for the kids and safe for the classroom.

This was my first year having my kid at preschool, and I was totally caught off guard when my kid came home with a thoughtfully prepared holiday gift from one of the other kid’s parents. Growing up, the only time I handed out gifts to classmates was for valentine’s day, and even then they were just cheesy little cards with a “be mine” candy attached.

After getting a colouring book with crayons and a candy cane, I knew I had to step up my game. So with only 2 days before the holiday break, I quickly combed through the internet for ideas that didn’t involve a ton of sugar and was safe for the classroom.

The end result were these little reindeer play-doh cards that were pretty cheap and easy to make. I’ve put the downloadable template below, so feel free to print and make your own. If I’ve spared even 1 other parent out there from the stress of the holidays, I’ll be content.

Happy Holidays!!
