Oh the magic of Christmas. Magic and playful learning opportunities of course! There is candy cane science, gingerbread math and lots of Christmas reading.
Writing a letter to Santa is another great chance to squeeze in a little extra learning. By creating a Letter to Santa writing basket you can give your kids a reason to spend a little extra time writing. Plus these letters will make fantastic keepsakes. Shhh… you don’t have to let them know that part.
Today I’ve teamed up with Albertsons to bring you a really fun way to add some learning to your holiday playtime!
Alberstons has created a way to make receiving a return letter from Santa easy… the letter to Santa basket just became even more fun.
All you have to do is visit Letters from Santa, fill in the requested information, review the letter, and hit send. You’ll instantly be sent a PDF letter from Santa to your favorite kid (niece, nephew or young-at-heart friend) via e-mail. You’ll also get a ready to print envelope that includes post markings from the North Pole. Place the letter (and envelop) in the mailbox just in time for you little one to check the mail. MAGIC!
