These garden themed friendship cards with crayon holders are a sweet, low-prep way for kids to celebrate friendship, kindness, and creativity.

Each printable page includes a cut-and-color friendship card with a built-in crayon holder.

Kids cut along the dashed lines, slide in three crayons, and give the card to a friend. The friend can color the card and even use it as a bookmark later. It’s a small gift that feels thoughtful without being complicated.

The friendship cards are perfect for:

  • classroom friendship exchanges
  • spring classroom activities
  • end-of-year student gifts
  • kindness activities or friendship units
  • playdates or homeschool co-op activities
  • a card a grandchild could give to their grandparent that enjoys gardening

This free printable includes 8 different friendship cards, each with a playful plant pun kids love.

Garden themed friendship cards with crayon holders for kids. There are 8 printable cards with plant puns, black-and-white coloring designs, and slots to hold three crayons for gifting to friends.

Printable Garden Friendship Cards

Each friendship card has:

  • a black-and-white garden themed illustration to color
  • a fun friendship saying
  • a built-in crayon holder that holds 3 crayons
  • space for To / From or XOXO on many of the cards

There are 8 pages, with one friendship card per page.

The designs work well for both boys and girls and are simple enough for kids to assemble independently with a little practice.

Garden Themed Card Sayings

The garden-themed sayings included are:

  • I’m Stuck on You!
  • Aloe You Vera Much!
  • You Are Unbeleafably Cool!
  • I Beleaf in You!
  • Thyme to Celebrate!
  • We’re Mint to Be!
  • I Dig You!
  • Our Friendship Grows and Grows!

How the Crayon Holder Works

Each card includes a small crayon holder attached to the design.

Here’s how kids put it together:

  1. Color the card (kids can also leave it blank for their friend to color)
  2. Write a name or message on the card.
  3. Cut out the card.
  4. Carefully cut along the dashed lines on the crayon holder. Parents might need to help with this step.
  5. Slide three crayons through the slots.
  6. Give it to a friend!

Once the crayons are removed, the card can be reused as a bookmark, making it a fun keepsake instead of a one-time activity.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to use the crayon holder on the card, it’s very easy to cut it off. In this case, the giver of the friendship card can color the card before giving it to the recipient.

Teacher & Parent Tips

  • Print on cardstock for sturdier cards, especially if kids will use them as bookmarks.
  • Let kids choose the three crayons they want to give, it adds a thoughtful, personal touch.
  • For younger students, pre-cut the outer card and let kids focus on coloring and inserting the crayons.
  • These pair nicely with a garden, plant, or kindness-themed lesson.
