Recycled Holiday Cards

A simple and fun activity is to reuse holiday cards by cutting up used cards
and pasting the art/designs onto another card or onto recycled paper. The
"recycled" cards can be given to teachers, sold as a fundraiser, or sent to
a local organization such as a senior center or a veterans association. We
sent our cards to Bunkers in Baghdad, Inc. 665 Main Street, Suite 400
Buffalo, New York 14203 so soldiers will receive them by Christmas. Remember
to tell your friends, families and colleagues to save their cards.
