Post Card Fun!

A great activity that incorporates a sense of travel is creating your own postcards. A postcard is used to carry a message, usually with a picture or a photograph on one side, that can be sent through the mail without an envelope. Just like sending a letter is an old-fashioned, so is sending a postcard. It can be a great way to keep in touch with friends or even as an art project! Get some construction paper, a ruler, colored pencils, crayons, and scissors. Cut out a rectangle out of your construction paper that is approximately 4×6 inches/10 by 15 cm, place divisions on the back of the card into message and address sections and the front is yours to decorate however you would like. You can draw on the front, place pictures of your family, or make a collage! Mail your creative postcards to a friend, a family member or another Undercover Kid. Write them a secret message or a simple hello, the choice is yours. Enjoy!
