A very important yearly chore for kids who love to celebrate Christmas is writing a letter to Santa. If your sweetheart is planning on taking a pen or crayon and a paper to write a cute letter to the cheery old man, here are a few guidelines to help them through the process.
Starting early
Right after Thanksgiving, start talking about writing a letter to old St. Nick. Like this, your child will have time to enjoy every step of the way. In addition, teaching kids to not delay writing it until a few days before Christmas encourages good organizational skills.
The wishlist
Ask your kid to first write down a list of everything they want before creating the actual letter. Though it might take a few days, it is the most important part after all!
Teaching boundaries
Children always hope to get tons of the latest toys under the tree but if the rough list starts getting a bit too long then ask them to narrow it down. Getting fewer toys can actually help children to enjoy their new gifts and fully appreciate them.
Explain how to write it
When your kid is all set to write the letter, talk about how to write it. Explain the greeting, body, and conclusion. Discuss how to write it politely. Should your kid ask about Mrs. Claus and the reindeers? Should they inquire about the health of Santa Claus?
Making it fun
Turn a simple boring wishlist into a fun craft for your baby. Draw designs along the edges, add holiday-themed designs, etc. See to it that there are plenty of papers and art supplies for your kid on hand, and let them have fun with it!
Where is North pole?
Children know that St. Nick lives in the North pole but where is it exactly? Use this chance to talk about geography. Take out a world map and point to that area!
