Nuts about you

You are probably looking at this picture wondering what the heck it is. It's actually peanut card that is unfolded. I took a picture of it drying, but never took a picture of it folded later on. This was made for someone who really likes peanuts. I simply took a large piece of brown card stock and folded it in half and drew a peanut shape, leaving the rounded parts of one side hanging over the folded edge. Then I cut it out, folded it half and let the kids have at it. They wrote on the inside first and then came the fun part. They ate a bunch of shelled peanuts and saved the shells in a zip lock bag. Then they crushed up the shells in the bag and and painted the whole outside of the card with glue. They shook the shells on like glitter, and let it dry. (This a job that will be done outside next time) When it was all done it was actually pretty cute, and free since we already had the card stock, peanuts, and glue.

Inside we wrote something like "We know it gets pretty nutty around here, but we are nuts about you. We'll try hard not to drive you nuts this year!"
