Here are three of Emma’s masterpieces. She insists on writing “IOIOIOIOIO” on everything, with the occasional “E”, “L”, and “T” thrown in for variety.
We made our first cards like this as thank you notes for gifts from Emma’s birthday party. She fell in love with the activity, so we’ve done it several times since. In fact, I’ve learned to be careful how many cards I cut out, because she won’t stop until she’s decorated every card I cut for her. The other night she literally fell asleep while decorating a card, because she couldn’t rest until all of her cards were decorated…
