Instead of buying expensive greeting cards, why not encourage the kids to make their own
Square pieces of white and coloured paper and card • Goggly eyes (available from craft shops) • Glue • Black paper • Pink paper • Black dot stickers, ribbon and sequins (optional, available from craft shops)
Fold a square piece of paper or card into a triangle by folding the bottom right corner up to the top edge.
Turn the triangle so that the point is facing you, fold the right corner over to make a small triangle and do the same with the left corner so that they look like two ears.
Stick goggly eyes, a black paper nose and a pink paper tongue onto the dog's face. Add black dots for a spotty dog and, if you'd like, make a collar with a strip of coloured paper, a short piece of ribbon and some sequins. Stick the dog onto some folded card to complete your greeting card.
