Birthday Greetings for a Queen

Louisa is studying the Kings of England right now in Year 2. We are currently on Henry VII... don't know how I feel about introducing her to Henry VIII. Anyways, since we are studying the monarchy, we thought we would send the Queen of England a birthday card for her 90th birthday! I found a cute card for her to color, thanks to this website.

Actually there are a lot of cool activities and resources for the English monarchy on the site-  I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are studying the kings and queens.

Louisa was instructed to write in her neatest writing... I gave her some ideas of what she could say but she wrote it herself and enjoyed it. Anyways, we formally addressed the card to the queen and I took a picture because we both got a kick out of addressing it to "Her Majesty the Queen."  :) I did have to add one more stamp... FYI... in case you want to send your own birthday greetings to Her Majesty. They aren't formally celebrating until May 12-15 even though her birthday was April 21. By the way, she is the longest reigning monarch!

Probably won't get a reply but wouldn't it be sweet if we did?? :)

    Thanks for the birthday card idea. It will be belated, but my kiddos will love this. Yea, history, while I love it, I don't relish introducing my kids the the evils of humanity.

    I'm sure the queen will love all cards sent, even if they are belated!
