joannqn Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My kids have been invited to a birthday party for our neighbor's grandson (she has custody). She says he's getting tons of gifts and has plenty of toys already and couldn't come up with any suggestions. I suggested a trip to the big zoo about 30 minutes from with my kids. She liked the idea. So, DD and I are making a homemade card to tell him what his gift from us will be. I'm thinking we'll spend a few hours at the zoo and get ice cream on the way home. How would you word the card? He's going into 3rd grade. We leave for the party in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'd make up some sort of goofy rhyme/poem. (lines ending in zoo, to, do, you, etc...) ;) And, add a cute illustration, maybe something like: http://www.paulabecker.com/blog/images/if_zoo_72.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Or make a big brightly colored zoo ticket and ice cream ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirabillis Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 HAHA! this is a very quick rhyming rendition. A trip to the _____ zoo, is such a fun thing to do. After seeing the animals fly, crawl & hop, we'll cool off and go to the ice cream shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 What an awesome gift! I like the idea of making "tickets" - maybe out of cardstock - and putting them inside the card. Then he has something to "open" and will have fun reading them and redeeming them. :) But I love the above rhyme and would add that into the birthday card too!!!

AHASRADA Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I agree with the ticket and poem idea. I would probably print colorful tickets and laminate them, but since you only have an hour, using cardstock or construction paper, maybe with stickers, would be good.
