Here’s an easy Christmas card idea that has always been a favorite. Just change the colors of the candles and the background and it works for all kinds of celebrations, even birthdays!
When it comes to making cards that are inclusive to all your students this time of year, working with a candle theme is a smart way to go. They are at the heart of so many celebrations such as Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
