How to Get a Letter from Santa

Kids really enjoy the personal contact with Santa.  Help them write a letter to Santa and experience the smile when they get a letter in return!

Take a day in daycare to help all the kids write their own type of letter to Santa.  If they can't write words, have them draw a picture.

Then you write a letter that you want the kids to receive from Santa.  Put them all in an envelope and send them off before December 15th.  Then the kids receive a letter from Santa!

Learn How to Get a Letter from Santa.


Elf on the Shelf

Meet our Elf on the Shelf, Clara!

I didn't buy the classic elf.  My daughter made our own elf from a Barbie.  The kids loved her just the same.

If you haven't done this with your daycare kids, you should. You will really enjoy the fascination kids have as they follow along with the antics and mischief of the elf that Santa sent to keep an eye on them.  And my kids literally talk about Clara all year long.

Easy Kids Christmas Cookies Recipes


I've had over 100 kids attend my daycare and I haven't met one yet who didn't like making a mess at my kitchen table while they decorated Christmas cookies.

If you're looking for recipes for even the youngest child to help with, visit Easy Kids Christmas Cookies Recipes for many recipes to choose from.



Whether you're baking cookies with the kids or tackling a craft project, you're guaranteed to have accidental spills and stains. If you need a stain removal tip now or for any other spills in the house, visit my friend Taylor's site called Stain Removal 101.


Kid's Christmas Songs


Music is so important in a child's life and they enjoy it so much.

With this list of Kid's Christmas Songs, you can make sure you're teaching the right words and maybe be reminded of some classics you forgot about.

Reindeer Food
Christmas Time for Kids

Reindeer Food is something that I like to make for the kids to send home with them after our Christmas Party.  The recipe is simple. 

The kids spread it on their lawn on Christmas Eve to help the reindeer lead Santa's sleigh to their house. 



Unique Gift Ideas for Kids

When I buy gifts for kids, I like to make it items that can't be bought locally at a department store. I like making it unique, but also something the kids will really enjoy.

Let me share my Unique Gift Ideas for Kids to help you come up with fun ideas.
