YO-YO
Print the template onto 8½-by-11-inch sticker paper (find full sheet sticker paper at office-supply stores and Amazon.com). Have your child trim it out using kids crafting shears. Stick it onto the yo-yo, and you’re good to go!
ZOO ANIMALS
Print greeting onto card stock; cut out. Trim a piece of sushi grass (find it on Amazon.com) to the width of the card. Insert the greeting, grass, and zoo animal into a cellophane bag; tape it closed.
PLAYING CARDS
Print the template onto 8½-by-11-inch sticker paper; cut out. Wrap a box of cards once with washi tape, then stick the greeting onto the box.
PAINT PALETTES
Help your child splatter card stock with watercolors; let dry. Print greetings onto the painted card stock and cut out. Punch holes in each, then attach the tags to the mini paint sets (Amazon.com) with string.
JACKS SET Insert scrap cardboard into a small muslin bag. Help your child use a heart-shaped stamp to add a heart to the bag; let dry. Print the greeting; cut out and insert into the bag, along with a jacks set (like these we found at Amazon.com)
CRAYONS & NOTEPADS Place crayons on top of a notepad and wrap with a rubber band. Print the template onto plain paper; cut out. Wrap it around the bundle and tape in place in the back.
PARACHUTER Print greeting onto cloud-patterned paper; cut out. Adhere paper to card stock with a glue stick. Attach parachuter toy (find them on Amazon.com) with a glue dot.
SILLY GLASSES Print the greetings onto card stock; cut out. Use double-stick tape to attach the glasses (silly glasses on Amazon.com) onto the card stock, or punch holes for each of the temple pieces, thread them through, and fold closed.
