Holiday Card Recycling Services

A crafty clean-up program

kids crafts activities


Everybody gets cards during the holidays (if you don't let us know . . . and we can send you a card next year) but what do you do with all the cards once the holidays are over?  Some people save them and look at them year after year (I would say most of those people are over 70).  Others throw them away on January 1st (I would say those people are heartless). The smart people, however, recycle those card and use them to make an awesome craft. (January 15th would be good date for this).  

Yep, that's right — today we will be taking the Merry Christmas card from Aunt Edwina, the politically correct Happy Holidays card from your kid's karate dojo, and the aspirational "Merry Winter, hope to see you in the New Year," card from your gym . . . and letting our kids cut them to shreds while making a collage.

Start by removing all the pictures of family and friends — you will want to keep those (refrigerators are made for that) — gather some glue, scissors, construction paper, and let the final winter craft commence.  After all, Valentines Day will be here before you know it!  Have fun.
