KidCards are books of pre-assembled cards that kids can tear out, color, fold, and give away. Each card has an unique design for different occasions: birthdays, get well, thank you and more. There is 20 cards and 20 envelopes in each packet of KidCards.
My kids loved picking out their own card to color. They had a lot of fun looking at all the different designs on the cards. The quality of the paper is great! The paper is thicker. All the paper is white, so kids can use any color to brighten it up for that special someone. KidCards also has a special Christmas edition booklet that comes with 15 pre-designed cards. I think that KidCards is a great product and fun activity to engage your child in. You kids will be encouraged to send cards to people for special occasions, and "just because" occasions. KidCards just won a 2009 iParenting Media Excellent Products Award in the Books Category, and I think that award is well deserved!Here's what the iParenting reviewers had to say about KidCards:
What are the most positive characteristics of this book?
-The best characteristic of this product is that it promotes creativity and imagination. It gives the child the chance to create something for someone else with a personal touch. It gives a guide to work with, but allows the child to be as creative as they choose to be.
-There were many choices of cards and envelopes to use with the cards. The choices were plentiful and worked well for many occasions. The spiral binding was great for flipping through the pages.
-What a great way to teach children good social etiquette. With this product children learn the importance of empathy and helps them think of others on special occasions. These cards can really make a difference in someones life, especially knowing that it came from a young person.
KidCards would make a great gift to give a child, and it is the gift that keeps giving.

Indeed looks like an interesting product. I agree that it will inspire creativity in kids. Thanks for introducing it, and the other cool stuff on your blog! Keep it up :)
the christmas edition is nice mverno@roadrunner.com
she has 2 daughters.
At KidCards, I'd choose Volume Two. The frames are great! The inventor, Melissa, came up with that volume as her daughter grew and wanted more room for creativity.

What a great idea! It still makes a card personal but enables the child to do it all by themselves...a definite plus for my daughter! Melissa came up with the idea for these cards when making a card with her daughter for her cousin.

Melissa seems like a really cool person. I like that she used her experiences to guide her to develop the cards. Just goes to show, mothering, not necessity, is the mother of invention. Thanks for the giveaway!
I learned that Melissa came up with the idea for KidCards while making a card with her oldest daughter for her cousin's birthday.

What a great way to encourage kids to send cards more often! Melissa created Volume 2 which are blank cards with themed frames so kids can be creative in drawing.
These are such a great product! Melissa came up with the idea of KidCards while making a card with her oldest daughter for her cousin's birthday.
