Here’s what we’d do
Choose short words or names and practice with ordinary pens before decorating final cards. Participants can trace their own penciled letters or use simple block writing. The activity works well when the cards have a real use chosen by their makers.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Gather scrap paper and card stock, with examples used only as inspiration.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Practice a few letter shapes and make one finished card at a comfortable pace.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Let ink dry and decide whether to display, gift or keep the card.
Choose your version
