Okay kiddo, have you ever gotten a card from someone for your birthday or a holiday? A card is a special kind of paper that has a message or picture on it.
Greeting cards are special cards that people give to each other to say things like "Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas" or "Thank You". Some people even give cards just to say "I love you" or "Thinking of you".
Greeting cards can have all sorts of pictures on them like balloons, presents, flowers, or holiday symbols like hearts for Valentine's Day or pumpkins for Halloween. The pictures and messages are meant to make the person receiving the card feel happy or loved.
Some people buy greeting cards at a store or online, but other people like to make their own cards at home. They can decorate them with stickers, drawings, or even put a little present like a gift card inside!
It's a nice way to show someone you care about them and brighten up their day with a thoughtful gesture. Who knows, maybe someday you'll make a wonderful greeting card for someone too!
