pen & paper
Do you have a friend who could use an encouraging note? Did someone do something nice for you- or your child?
Why not make a note custom-chic with a unique envelope.
And your children can help!
Take an old calendar — or any pretty paper!
something with really cool pictures
Open an envelope you have and trace it
{or you can find a printable template HERE}
and cut a template. Score the dotted/folded lines,
Fold in the sides & add glue. Fold up the bottom to stick to the sides.
Allow it to dry for a few minutes [depending on the glue type used].
Add a letter [handwritten are the best!]; or write directly on the paper if it’s not an old calendar 🙂
Fold over top and glue or sticker it closed.

This kind of envelope can dress up even a piece of notebook paper ‘card’…
and it’s ready for a stamp!
Let’s hit those mailboxes with some REAL mail!!
And teach our children how to write a letter!
