We have made a simple robin thumb print Christmas card this weekend. You need: A4 white paper. Black felt tip pen. Glue. A4 Coloured card. Red paint. Envelopes. Gold, silver or white glitter pen. What to do... Cut up white A4 paper into six squares. Draw different robin outlines. The children can then trace the different outlines onto the paper squares or draw their own. Dab thumb into red paint and make a red thumb print for the robin's red breast. When the paint is dry, glue the square onto folded coloured card. Write Happy Christmas on the front. Write message inside. We stuck some sequin snowflakes on the front. We love these simple Christmas cards.
