Printable Birthday Cards for Kids — Free Templates to Customize

Birthday cards

June is my birthday month, and although my birthday falls on the 21st, I love doing playful birthday projects throughout the month. For this free stationery printable, we partnered with Threadhoney to create a set of charming, interactive birthday cards designed especially for kids. Were you obsessed with word searches as a child? I certainly was — I lived for them!

Below are three printable card designs ready to download and print. They make quick, fun additions to birthday gifts or can be handed out at parties. If you keep reading to the end, there’s a meaningful way to use these cards to bring a smile to children who need it most.

If I had received one of these as a child, I would have had a blast. They’re a perfect last-minute solution when you need a thoughtful, kid-friendly birthday card. Print, fold, and add a handwritten note to make the card personal.

There’s also a beautiful way to put these printables to use beyond parties. Do Something runs a program that collects mailed birthday cards for children spending their birthdays in shelters. These playful cards are ideal to brighten a child’s special day. We plan to send a few along to kids who could use an extra smile, and you can learn how to participate on Do Something’s campaign page.
