Scratch Art Postcards (50 Pack)

Scratch Art Postcards turn a simple message into colorful artwork kids can create and share. Scratch designs into the black surface to reveal brilliant rainbow colors underneath, then flip the card over to write a personal message using the printed address lines and postage-stamp area for a creative project that's made to be displayed, gifted, or sent to someone special.

Scratch a Rainbow. Write a Message. Make Someone’s Day.

Every postcard begins with a solid black scratch-art surface that hides vibrant rainbow colors underneath. Kids can use the included stylus sticks to draw pictures, write names, create patterns, add messages, or cover the entire front with colorful original artwork.

Flip the finished artwork over, and it becomes a real postcard-style project. The back includes room for a personal message, address lines, and a designated area for a postage stamp, giving kids a fun reason to create something specifically for a friend, family member, pen pal, camper, or someone they want to surprise.

Each paper postcard measures exactly 6" x 4⅛". With 50 postcards and 12 stylus sticks included, the set gives classrooms, camps, after-school programs, senior programs, and other groups plenty of opportunities for colorful creativity and meaningful connection.

These Scratch Art Postcards Are Great For

Tips for Best Results

• Start with light stylus pressure for thin lines and increase pressure when revealing larger areas of rainbow color
• Experiment with stripes, dots, crosshatching, spirals, shapes, lettering, and other patterns for different visual effects
• Have participants create their front artwork before writing on the back so the postcard can stay flat while scratching
• Add the recipient’s name or initials into the artwork to make each postcard feel even more personal
• Keep the included stylus sticks together between sessions so the bulk pack can be used for multiple activities
