Personal Headlines Paper Activities
Kids are always informed with this paper activity.

What You'll Need:

  • Old newspapers
  • Scissors
  • Card stock (cut in 4x6-inch pieces)
  • Glue
  • Markers
  • Postage stamps
Who are your kids? Where have they been? What are their hobbies? This fun fact-finding activity will help kids express themselves -- and share those expressions with the people who love them.

Have your kids go through a pile of old newspapers, cutting out and gathering words that express who they are, what they've done, and how they feel.

Step 1: Creatively position and glue those headlines on a side of a 4x6-inch piece of card stock. Make sure that all the edges are glued down securely so they can't be ripped off.

Step 2: Decorate those words with colorful markers, if desired.

Step 3: Once the glue and ink are dry (plan for overnight drying time in most climates), add a stamp, an address, a quick "hello" to the back of the card, and drop it in a mailbox.
