The pandemic and recent events have highlighted the importance of spending quality time with the people you care about. Christmas is traditionally a time to focus on family togetherness and is orientated around creating treasured memories that will last a lifetime. A key part of this special family time is the timeless traditions that are passed down through generations and cement core values through love. Many of these traditions are shared across cultures, such as hanging stockings and sharing gifts, but often the best ones are those that are unique to just your family.
Writing Santa letters is one of the many traditions that can be shared as a family and can involve people of all ages. From coming up with ideas of what to ask for, to getting out the pens and paper to write them, it is an engaging and inclusive family activity. Getting out your crafting supplies can elevate this task, ensuring that it is an annual event that your family looks forward to each year.
What better way to extend the excitement of this time, than by arranging for your children to receive a letter from Santa, in response to the hard work that they have put into creating their letters. This not only encourages children to engage in future activities, but is also a simple and affordable way to take Christmas celebrations to the next level. Our Santa letters are carefully crafted and customised by you, so that they are an authentic representation of your child and their interests. Order online in the festive season to remove the need for braving the shops in such hectic times, meaning that you can spend more time having festive fun with loved ones.
Furthermore, it encourages activities away from screens and towards a more traditional pastime that is not only fun but also supports literacy skills. Unintentionally learning can sometimes be more effective than organised lessons as the children are more engaged and put more thought into their letters as they are doing it for their own enjoyment and satisfaction. With the use of cognitive and fine motor skills, writing Santa letters are considerably more interesting and exciting compared to homework and spelling practice.
