Construction Birthday Card Ideas
Construction cards are a hit with kids who point at every excavator and dump truck they pass. The designs include a digger, bulldozer, crane, cement mixer, and a cheerful hard-hatted builder.
There's a yellow excavator, a dump truck with a tipping bed, a bulldozer, a cement mixer, two kinds of crane, a traffic cone, and a smiling builder in a hard hat — plus an excavator coloring page for a color-it-yourself card.
Pick a truck, add your message, and print a folded card at home.
