My kids love scratch-off cards. They always are asking at Kohls if they can do one. This is a really easy way you can make your own scratch off cards – perfect for lots of fun kids activities.
You’ve probably seen lots of make-your-own-scratch-off tutorials popping up on Pinterest. I thought that sounded so cool that I decided to give it a try! (I first saw a tutorial at Little Wonder’s Days) This project was to help my kids practice showing virtue in their daily life. I handed them each a scratch-off card. Each time they were ‘caught’ showing the virtue of kindness they got to scratch off a spot on the card. If they made a match – they won the prize! It was a HUGE hit in our house.
How to make your own Scratch off Cards
First figure out what will be under the scratch off paint. You can use my {free} Virtue Scratch off Card prizes (like staying up late, extra book, etc.) or pictures for kids to play a matching game. Now print it and laminate it (here is the laminator we own and love)
Mix the scratch-off paint by mixing 1 TAB metallic acrylic paint & 1 TAB dish detergent in a bowl.
Paint over the squares with your scratch off paint.
Allow it to dry a couple of hours and you have your finished scratch off cards.
Your kids are going to LOVE it! My kids think it is a hoot!
