Now I am sharing my free Printable Santa Letters for Kids with you! Simply download it and print it out at home. No hassles! And the kids love doing this simple activity to kick of the Christmas Season!
LETTERS TO SANTA
Are your kids young enough to still believe in the magic of Christmas? We have only one at the moment. But we all love spirit and the magic of Christmas! When the kids are old enough, and we share with them the secrets, they are then old enough to help bring the magic of Christmas to others! It has almost been as fun as when they were young kids! One of our favorite Christmas Traditions is sending out these free Santa letter templates for the Kids to the North Pole! It’s a great Christmas activity and the kids can share their Christmas wish list with Santa!
They love being helpful and creating magic for the youngest in our family and our extended family and friends! We still love to write letters to Santa. We usually write them within the first week of December and when this busy momma finally can get organized enough to get them printed out!
CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
We usually sit down around the table as part of our Family Night and have the kids write up their letters, or you can write your child’s letter for them. You can even send your own letter to Santa Claus with your wish list! I designed these Letters to Santa for younger children who are not able to write very much but still want to participate in creating their own Santa Letter! They are able to just fill-in the blanks on their own or with a little help from mom or dad.
Our post office actually has a special mailbox that they deliver straight to the North Pole, but if yours doesn’t, you children can tuck them into the top of their stocking! They will magically disappear and end up at the North Pole for Santa and his elves to read!
