Whether your child is creating her own dog walking business or she just wants to pretend to be a professional business person, creating free business cards is economical and enjoyable.

If you have a computer and printer, free cards are at your fingertips that your child can use to showcase a customized design.

Things You'll Need

  • Scissors
  • Card stock

Instructions

    • 1

      Divide a blank word processing document into two columns and four rows to make the cards.

    • 2

      Browse the clip art options within your program until your child finds one he wants. If he's creating a card for an actual business, a picture that corresponds to the theme can catch the eye of potential customers. For example, if he wants to sell tomatoes from your garden, a picture of a plant or garden hose matches his business idea. Dogs work well for a pet sitting business and lemons work for a driveway beverage stand. For pretend cards, let your child choose the picture he likes the most.

    • 3

      Overlap words on the picture as a background image, or place the image to one side of the card and insert words on the other side.

    • 4

      Type in your child's information in text boxes. Include her name and phone number. Add an email address if she's trying to get customers. Unless she's selling lemonade or garden goods from your house, leave her address off the card. This offers a bit of protection in case the card gets into the wrong hands or a customer is upset.

    • 5

      Change the font and colors on the card as desired. Match the color of the letters to the picture, or make them darker so they stand out.

    • 6

      Print her cards on your home printer using card stock. Start with just one sheet of cards to make sure they look exactly as he wants them to. Make adjustments before printing out several pages of the cards.

    • 7

      Cut the cards apart using scissors. If your child just plans to play with the cards, hand them over. If she's using the cards for a legitimate business, keep them in a card holder, small bag or pouch to keep them looking professional.
