Children’s Thank You Notes

by magpiebride

Children should be encouraged to send thank you notes to friends and family members who give or send them presents for their birthday or any occasion.  Store bought cards are nice to purchase so your children can sign them, but it’s extra special to send thank you creations made by your child.

 Computers provide many options for creating original thank you notes made by your child.  Let your child draw a picture for thank you notes.  You or your child can scan the picture, and then design a card or a postcard to send out to show his or her appreciation for a gift.  Also, you can take a photograph of your child enjoying the gift, transfer it to the computer, and create a card to send to the person who gave your child the gift.

You can give young children some markers, stickers, crayons, scissors, glue and paper, so they can create a work of art to thank someone for their presents.  Younger children will enjoy covering their hands with paint, making hand prints on paper to send out to say thank you, as well.   Grandparents will truly appreciate this gesture from children who can’t express themselves in writing, yet.
