Spark the magic of Christmas with these darling printable Christmas cards for kids. An easy and fun way to say, “I love you Deer-ly”.

Send grandma and grandpa another cute gift from the kids by making a simple Fingerprint Wreath or Scrap Paper Christmas Tree!

When Leah was in Kindergarten (10 years ago!) she came home one day in December with a red-painted nose and a reindeer headband on. She simply said it was for a card she made with her class, but that’s all she told me. A couple of weeks later, she handed me and my husband a darling card with a picture of her dressed as a reindeer with the words “I love you Deerly” printed underneath.

Even after all these years, this is one of my very favorite cards – and it’s such a fun Christmas craft too!

If you’re looking for a fun, FREE Christmas card that you can send to grandpa and grandma this holiday season, we’ve made it even cuter with a free reindeer headband template AND a few printable card designs.

Here’s how to make it –
