Directions
Download the Grinch template, print, and cut out the pieces you need. If you want to color the Grinch’s eyes in yellow, do that before cutting them out.
Fold the Grinch card base in half along the dashed line and cut it out, leaving the top, flat part uncut.
Begin by gluing the nose to the middle of the Grinch’s face, a bit above the mouth.
Take the eyes and angle them to follow the curve of the face and glue them, one on each side.
Next, take the eyebrows and glue them angled downward on the top part of the eyes.
Create the Santa hat by gluing the fluff to the bottom of the hat, then glue the pom to the pointy end of the hat.
Finish up by gluing the hat to the top of the Grinch’s head.
Open up the card and write a sweet message inside!
We’re sure that anyone your kid gives this card to this Christmas will absolutely love it! Check out our other card crafts too!
