MOTHER’S DAY EXPLOSION CARD

Materials:

• Card templates (Mom/Grandma/Blank)
• colored cardstock (2 different colors)
• printer
• scissors
• glue
• markers/colored pencils/crayons

To Make:

1.) Print out the templates. Use two different colors of cardstock (example is done with red/pink cardstock).

2.) Cut out card template and 5 hearts. For both, cut right outside the lines, not on the lines.

In the example, they drew pictures on the inside hearts, but you could instead place hearts there. If doing that, cut out 10 hearts (look same as back side).

3.) In the center of the card (below “Happy Mother’s Day”), have your child draw a picture of their Mom/Grandma or a picture with them and their Mom/Grandma. If too young, have them decorate the inside of the card- can use crayons, stickers or stamps too.

4.) Attach hearts with glue on the back side of the card. Put glue on the template (outline) side. Let dry.

5.) Fold one side at a time- to make a pentagon (see below).

To create the explosion card- Fold one heart down and then place the next heart down on top, continue until all hearts are folded down. Then, tuck the last heart under the first folded heart.

Happy Gifting!
