I snuck in to the playground during recess time for a few days and had a little "craft station" set up where I was able to get all of the kids' hand prints with paint.
I then cut them all out with their signatures.
I glued them onto a poster board which I had folded in half to make a card.
I then had Maya and Kai paint and decorate a piece of paper with all the letters to spell "Happy Birthday". (I have found this easier to do then having them decorate each individual letter)
I cut those letters out when they were all done and glued them to the front of the card.
It was a HUGE hit. She loved it!
