No good vacation goes without sending a silly postcard. These “puny” postcards are perfect for any sea-side trip and make a great coloring activity for kids. They also are a great way to celebrate National Lighthouse day (August 7th) and National Oyster day (August 5th). What other nautical puns can you come up with?
Materials: Printable Color-in Postcard Template, 8.5 x 11 card stock, scissors, bone folder, glue, markers, crayons, highlighter, etc.
Step 1: Print out the Printable Color-in Postcard Template on 8.5 x 11 card stock.
Cut out the postcards.
Step 2: Fold in each card in half securing with the bone folder.
Step 3: Glue the folded card together (or leave un glued if you’d rather use as a card).
Step 4: Use bone folder to secure glued postcard.
Step 5: Gather your crayons, markers, or whatever you have and color in to make your own masterpiece.
Step 6: Write a silly message and send to your friend & family. Let’s hope they think you’re funny!
