I am a firm believer in writing thank you notes, and starting early. Writing thank you notes is a great way to teach your kids gift giving etiquette and good manners.
Christmas is a time when our kids are often showered with gifts from everyone from mom and dad to grandparents to Santa, and it's important to instill a sense of gratitude in them for the generosity of those around them. We started working on being thankful last month with this fun gratitude activity and now we are getting ready to say thank you for our Christmas gifts too, with a free printable blank Christmas thank you note template that your kiddos can use too!
Free Printable Christmas Thank You Notes
Around Christmas time, we're inundated with advice on what to do and what not to do. One piece of advice that is often overlooked - send a thank you note! Whether you received a gift or just enjoyed some time with your family and friends, a handwritten thank you note to the gift giver is always appreciated.
These printable thank you notes are great for encouraging kids to say thank you for their Christmas gifts. These notes are perfect to drop in the mail to Grandma, give to friends, or even to send to the North Pole to Santa! Simply download, print, and let your kids express their appreciation for the gifts they receive during the holiday season.
Tips for Writing Handwritten Notes
Younger children may need some help writing their thank you notes. The printable gives them a start, with a fill-in prompt for "Dear" and "Thank you for..." and blank lines for the remainder of their message.
Once they have filled in these lines, they can add their own personal message. If they are stuck on what to write, encourage them to include how they plan to use the gift, a detail that they are loving about it, or even a drawing of themselves with the gift. Be sure to close with a merry Christmas and happy new year wish!
