Marvelous MOM Card

Why

Moms are marvelous! Let your mom know how wonderful she is with a handmade card—for her birthday, Mother’s Day, or any day!

Steps

1. Fold a sheet of Crayola® Color Explosion™ paper in half lengthwise. Write the word MOM in large, wide letters with the tops against the fold. Cut out the word, keeping the letters attached at the fold.

2. Use the Color Explosion color-reveal markers and Crayola Glitter Glue to decorate your card. Create pictures and designs that reflect your mom and the happy times you spend together. Air-dry the designs.

3. Inside the card, write a loving message to your mom with Crayola Fine Line Markers. Place the card in an envelope. Surprise your mom with your masterpiece--and a hug!

Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
