dear santa,

As parents, some of us are Santa Clause apologists, while others are a little bit on the fence. Do we push this idea on our kids, or do we go another route? We know we had these same questions, but it seems kids find their way to the magic of Santa Clause with or without our help! Here’s a couple projects you can do with your kids to share in their excitement for The Big Guy.

First, a letter (and free printable!) to Santa hand lettered by Maypole.

And next, we have quickly become obsessed with Pebeo’s porcelain markers. You can draw and erase as much as you’d like until your find your perfect design, then just bake for a bit and you’re done! Here are a few designs we whipped up for the kids to put their cookies for Santa on:

Thanks to Pebeo and Maypole for sponsoring this project post!

    I wonder if this new generation of children will want to text Santa instead of writing letters? I personally love a written letter and think this has become an art form we should all reinstate. I hand made and posted written invitations to my son’s first birthday party. Overwhelming response was that they were beautiful invitations. But a few said I could have just emailed them the details, this made me sad. Does not everyone enjoy a letter and a stamp in the letterbox?
    I know next year when Jarvis is old enough he will hand write a letter to Santa.
