Fun Kidzness Card Maker

My students loved MrNussbaum.com's KidzNess Card Maker! First and second graders enjoyed putting their name and lots of colorful stamps and backgrounds on their customizable cards, which print eight to a sheet. My third and fourth graders came up with fun sayings to add to their cards like "Welcome to my Club" and "I love America". We laminated the sheet of cards after printing so they would last longer. Even my fifth, sixth and seventh graders enjoyed making a set of cards, with their name a fun greeting for their friends.
