Some days we are more consistent than others but now that my older ones are getting older, they usually initiate the "thank you's" all by themselves.Jamie Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210544168493409813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-89871279835125166782012-08-07T09:36:25.816-07:002012-08-07T09:36:25.816-07:00Great ideas.

Sometimes we just colors or paint cards. A fun one to do with younger kids is resist painting using sticker letters. Let them paint away and then peel the stickers and voila!Marniehttp://www.carrotsareorange.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-13793727563279307622012-08-03T05:58:20.641-07:002012-08-03T05:58:20.641-07:00Great ideas!

These are great ideas for my kids; I'd also add that since my kids are pre-writers, I lay out alphabet stamps so they can "write" their names at the end of the message I've transcribed for them. <br /><br />(Pinning this post - I'll be back. :)Jenihttp://www.theblogmaven.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-333105574352392312012-07-31T08:34:52.060-07:002012-07-31T08:34:52.060-07:00Love all your ideas!

I like your idea of waiting to play with the certain gift until you've written the note.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971745746933302234noreply@blogger.com
