yeah def have a pic of him on the card. if you have a pic with the people u are sending card too with them and kid together that would be nice.
you could also prerecord you wee one with a wee xmas message and put cd in with card. just something simple like him saying merry xmas and singing a wee song.

http://www.kinderkorner.com/christmas.html, scroll about half way down for the hand print wreath. Also you can by porcelain paints, Pebeo 150, and you could do his handprint on a plate etc, The paint washes off with water so no messy hands for him. However if you leave it 24hrs then bake the plate at 150 for 35mins it becomes dishwasher proof

What I do with my toddler, is let him loose with felt tips and crayons on the card. Then I let him loose with the glitter glue and card toppers. I print off clip art on the printer to say things like Happy Birthday etc and he sticks them on.

Baker Ross is good for art and craft stuff, if you want to buy a couple of years worth of stuff at once.

I am making cards with DS this year who will be 2 in october. you need to make sure you use matt not shiny card for this. Then you need to use a tray of water and drop in christmas coloured marble paint. DS then stirs the mixture and you just lay the card ontop of the water for a couple of seconds. The front and back of the card get a lovely marble effect leaving the inside blank to write on.

Ive only done one as a tester so far and have stuck a picture of DS on the front, I plan to dress him in a silly christmas outfit soon so I can get a good christmassy picture on the card.

I should take a picture and post it really as it looks much better than I have made it sound!
