Digital age in full the task of bringing Christmas greetings to friends and distant relatives is often entrusted to the mail and sms, but in recent years is returning to the practice of sending paper greeting cardsMore personal and engaging. To send an original and personalized christmas cards we can create ourselves our tickets, perhaps letting the children help.

These three examples suggest that, inspired by the theme the magic of Christmas were divided into age groups so as to allow children to participate according to their capacity.

The purpose of these simple chores is to involve children and let them experience first hand the magic of Christmas. Each of these DIY greeting cards it has something magic in their eyes; design appearing on the paper, three-dimensional shapes, colors in relief.    

1) The design of the invisible - For children from 1 year and a half Procuriamoci a drawing pad and crayons and colored white. Secretly by the child draw on the wax paper with the outline of a white Santa Claus, Christmas or a figure of your choice. The design must be simple and not too detailed, so you might recognize as they appear on paper the various traits. We now give the paper and colored waxes to the child, encouraging him to paint the entire sheet. You will see the amazement in his eyes when, to pass the color magically appear with the picture that we have traced the white wax!   Religious Christmas Cards 

2) Christmas Tree Surprise - For children from 2 years In this case we will need a sheet of drawing paper, dried leaves, wax pencils or colored card stock. First with a little 'of Scotch adhesive fix a leaf to our work plan. Then, to get the dimensions of the ticket, divide in half and then fold drawing paper in half like a book. Centering on the leaf and open it again fold well in one of two halves. Now we can involve children and asked him to go gently colored pencils on paper and bring up the leaf, they will feel the true wizards! We cut now colored cardboard the same size as the drawing pad and fold in half. In a mid-cut to a shape of Christmas (in our example we did a Christmas tree) so that it overlaps the diagram in the drawing pad. At this point with the glue stick ligation our business by entering the entire sheet of tissue paper of cardboard so as to show the veins of the leaf in the shape of the Christmas trees decorations.  

3) 3D Christmas Tree - For children from 2 ½ years In the example we propose a tree for the simplicity of its implementation, but this technique can be played with a lot of Christmas decorations. Take a sheet of white paper and A4 Let's break it in half. We turn to one half of the book and make a cut perpendicular to the crease to about 2 cm from the bottom. Starting from this cut to the inside bend the triangle made of paper, going over the wrinkles that form. In this way we obtain a double-dimensional triangle towards the inside of the ticket. Let the kids free to decorate the tree: Here we used glue stick and glitter to create three golden garlands.
