Letter writing is an art and a great activity to instill in your young ones.  I have put together a few reasons and tips for writing thank you notes with your little gems!

1.  Writing a thank you note and acknowledging what they have received will instill gratefulness in their hearts.

2. It helps develop writing, reading and cognitive skills.

3. It is a great way to teach them manners and proper etiquiette.

4. It teaches them “the art of small talk”.

5. It shows them how to respect and have appreciation for others.

A few tips on getting them to write thank you notes:

1. Set a time and place so they do not feel rushed.

2. If they can’t write, they can always draw their appreciation!

3. Keep it short and simple:

Sentence 1: Say “thank you” for the gift

Sentence 2: Write about why you like it or what you plan to do with it
