By popular request, here are my Father's Day Star Cards for kids to color, cut, and assemble into a unique gift for Dad (or any special guy in a child's life.) Like my WOW MOM card, these 4 designs have symmetry, but this time it's rotational. : )

This surprising card reads "MOM" when it's closed, then "WOW MOM" when it's opened up, thanks to line symmetry. Kids will enjoy making this color-and-cut greeting for Mother's Day. A capital letter folding activity and writing prompt is included.

Loreen Leedy If you pinned this before, I changed the cover image and one of the designs, so it seemed better to delete the previous pin. Sorry for any confusion!
