Activity Description
SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere! We want to keep Houston volunteering all week long!
Let’s get crafty and make handmade cards for seniors to send them supportive messages and brighten their day!
You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.
Activity Directions
Supplies needed:
- Construction paper or blank cards
- Markers or crayons
- Stickers, stamps, or other art supplies you may have at home
- A mailing envelope and postage
To start, make fun and colorful designs on the front of your cards. You can include drawings, stickers, stamps and more. Please avoid glitter as it can rub off.
On the inside of your cards, include a drawing and a message, such as the ones listed below, or anything else fun, positive, and uplifting! You can write a joke or draw a picture. Sign the cards with your first name, age and where you are from. Please do not put anything religious on the cards. Because of the religious diversity of the many seniors receiving cards, it is not appropriate to deliver cards that represent one particular faith.
- Thinking of you!
- I hope you have a wonderful day!
- Wishing you laughter and happiness!
- Sending you sunshine!
- A little sparkle to your day!
- You're amazing!
If you would like, you can also include free printable crossword or suduko puzzles in your cards.
Please try to make 3-5 cards and mail or hand deliver them directly to Interfaith of the Woodlands at 4242 Interfaith Way, The Woodlands, TX 77381.
