Artist Trading Cards and Pickled Vegetables
I saw a fun idea in a magazine awhile ago and thought I would give it a try with the kids. Artist Trading Cards. The idea is to make small cards on plain white cardstock. They suggested baseball card size, but I happened to have sleeves for business card size, so that's what we went with. Once you get that, get busy decorating! You can design cards however you want using whatever medium you want. Once you get a base of cards, you can start trading them with each other so you have a large variety of cards - just sign your name on the back so you can keep track of your various cards and who designed them. I have to say that this idea was a HIT! The kids absolutely loved it and spent many, many hours creating various cards. They sent out cards to distant relatives in hopes that they'll get some back from them. We haven't gotten any yet (if you are a relative reading this who received your cards, ahem, the kids are waiting...)....
