One of many gifts for children aged within the classifications of infant to early childhood are potentially birthday cards, paper tokens of remembrance with poetic phrases and/or puns indicating good wishes for the reader of said card on the anniversary of their birth. Unlike cards meant for adults, children’s cards are typically cartoon-ish and depict an animal or corporate mascot alongside the words written inside. It is a common trend within this demographic of cards to employ more flashy gimmicks and tactile, toy-like parts included with the card to gain the attention of buyers and obtain longer shelf life for the receivers – literal children who cannot read or write.
