This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been contacted. Congrats Carrie!
What kinds of gifts do you like to receive from your children? I love homemade gifts- those mean the most to me. For Mother’s Day this year Rich helped Hailey make me a present and I thought it was just the sweetest thing ever. When Hailey gives gifts to other relatives I try to have her make something too. So when I saw these KidCards I was thrilled with the chance to check them out.
KidCards are kind of like an activity book that is filled with cards that your child can decorate to make them more personal than a traditional greeting card would be. And- they are much cheaper too! Hailey has already decorated and given a few of the KidCards. She enjoyed making the cards and the recipients enjoyed getting them. Here’s a little more information about KidCards:
As a mother of two, Melissa Marra loved watching her daughters make homemade cards for birthdays and other celebrations, as well as to tell their flu-ish BFFs to get better soon. But as much as they loved making cards, it was very time consuming and required a lot of help and guidance. One day, while making cards with her oldest daughter, Marra had an idea that would allow a child to make homemade cards, but would focus them in the right direction.
Thus, the idea for KidCards® was born. KidCards are adorable, plastic-spiral topped “books” in which the pages contain “pre-drawn” greeting cards. Each card/page can be removed, colored and folded into individual greeting cards. A set of envelopes is thoughtfully included, too. Since coming up with the idea, Marra has created and sold her product to thankful parents, teachers and caregivers all over the country.
So how would you like to win a set of KidCards? One lucky winner will get to pick between Volume 1 or 2 or the Christmas edition.
Volume 1: Coloring Cards – These cards are ready for color and decoration! Variety includes Birthday, Thank you, Get Well, Congrats and general Friendship designs. The front cover of each card has design ready for coloring with a lettered message inside. Perfect for the younger child. 20 Cards per book. MSRP $14.99.
Volume 2: Freehand Drawing Frames – Cards with themed frame on the cover; leaves more room for creativity because a child can draw whatever they want inside the frame. Variety includes Birthday, Thank you, Get Well, Congrats and general Friendship designs. 20 Cards per book. MSRP $14.99.
Special Edition: Christmas Book – Includes 15 “Merry Christmas” cards in five designs as well as five Christmas Gift Thank You notes. 20 cards per book. MSRP $14.99.

What a *neat* idea! I enjoyed looking around their site. One thing I noticed was that they have teachers’ editions, where the book is filled with a whole classroom’s worth of cards for a specific occasion (like Mother’s Day). Good thinking!

I would so like to give the thank you cards to a grandson.
His mother never says thank you, either, and this would be a great hint!

At KidCards, I’d choose Volume Two. The frames are great! The inventor, Melissa, came up with that volume as her daughter grew and wanted more room for creativity.
