Pop Up Cards and Both Traditional and Digital Interactive Puzzles For the Holidays

Making pop up cards with classes and showing students how to turn them into digital eCards caused me to think about what is important at Christmas.

How do our communities stay connected to humbleness and original good to cheer throughout our family celebrations. Perhaps the antidote to consumerism is to spend time rather than money when creating cards and presents each year. A day at the beach might just be remembered with more fondness than a more expensive but less meaningful gift. Young people might find that giving the gift of time spent cleaning up the yard or some other active chore, might really impress the family in a way that typical gift giving has not managed tp in the past.
Enjoy Christmas and New Year. Remember to stay safe personally and be generous with both of both time and love and you cannot go wrong.
If you would like to make cards with your children here are some articles that offer ideas:
