I don't know about you, but I am a little obsessive about my kids thank you cards matching their party theme. This year, I procrastinated big time thinking it would be simple to find party supplies for our Lego Themed Birthday. When I say big time, I mean shopping 3 days before the party instead of 3 weeks like I normally would. Standing in the party supply store, I could feel myself start shaking with anxiety when I discovered nothing Lego themed! Not a single plate, decoration, or party favor, and of course, no thank yous!
With a little quick thinking, I came up with a solution to my Lego dilemma and found a way to occupy some of my kids time! We could make our own Lego Thank You Cards!
What You Need to Make Lego Thank You Notes
- Blank white cards
- Tempura paint
- Legos
- Something to use as a palette (we used styrofoam plates)
How to Make Your DIY Lego Notecards
1. Start by putting paint on your palette. We actually used a separate plate for each color, and separate Legos too, just to prevent contamination from other colors.
2. Place a few different sizes of Legos with each paint color.
3. Allow the kids to use the Legos to stamp on the outside of the cards. There is really no correct way to do this. Just pick up the Lego and stamp the paper.
4. Let cards dry overnight.
Honestly, even if you aren't looking to make Lego party themed cards, Lego printing is a fun way for kids to make some open-ended art with one of their favorite toys!
And with such a simple project, you can afford to procrastinate just a little longer!
