I've shared about Cards for Hospitalized Kids before as it's one of my very favorite organizations and projects to do with my kids. Today I'm sharing some Fall/Halloween ideas in case you need a quick project for this week/weekend. If you want to make seasonal cards you need to get them done pre-season so this is PERFECT!
Cards for Hospitalized Kids is an organization that collects and distributes handmade cards to kids in hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses across the country. To get involved all you have to do is make cards. That's it. When you have little ones it can be hard to find places to volunteer with them in tow - and Cards for Hospitalized kids is an amazing way to open up conversation about empathy and how a small gesture has the power to brighten someone else's day. They collect cards for all holidays (as well as just everyday encouragement cards) and so I whipped up some Halloween and Fall ones a few years ago and still print them out and color them annually.
We kept the messages Fall/Halloween-ish but also encouraging and fun.
And we even threw in a few "dad jokes" ;)
The kids were SO PROUD of their work and, as always, it was such a sweet time coloring, talking and praying over the cards and the kids who would receive them.
Once you have a few done you just pop them in the mail to the following address...
... you can get all the details on their website HERE.
You can download and print the Halloween cards we used HERE or if you're looking for others you can print the Valentines Cards we made HERE or the general "anytime" cards HERE.
Happy Wednesday, friends!
