Special Stationery

Simple and safe (no scissors), this is a creative and satisfying project for young children. Encourage them to tailor their work to fit the personality of the recipient.

What you need:

1. an assortment of stamp pads
2. small stickers
3. crayons, markers
4. writing paper and envelopes; notepads

Before you launch into the project

• Cover your work surface with newspaper and secure it with masking tape. At clean-up time, you can scrunch up the mess and toss it in the trash.
• Protect your clothes with an oversized T-shirt or apron.

What you do:
Decorate stationery and envelopes, keeping in mind whom you plan to give it to. What words, colors, or designs might make the stationery just perfect for that person?
