Are you kids wanting to get a letter to the big guy himself? This printable Letter to Santa Template is perfect! Use this letter to Santa template to print and get in the mail! 

Letter to Santa Printable

Kids of all ages still believe in the magic of Christmas. There’s no denying that the desire to write a letter to Santa truly never goes away. This is why this letter to Santa template PDF is the best! It fills in all the details that aren’t fun for the kids to write and leave the space for them to customize it as they see fit!

Will they admit to Santa that they’ve been a bit naughty this year or are they going to hold firm to their truth that they’ve been good? This Christmas letter to Santa template is great to print out for all the kids to complete on their own!

You can print out this letter to Santa template in black and white to save on ink or full color – totally up to you. Hand it out to the kids and have them start the writing process. More than likely, they know exactly what they want to write to Santa and will be done before you know it!

Silly Ways To Talk about the Naughty and Nice List

Santa Naughty or Nice List

The holidays are always a ton of fun but some kids might actually be a bit confused about if they’re on the naughty or the Santa’s nice list. To help them feel better, why not have a conversation?

Kids know what it’s like to be nice and how to be nice, but the word “naughty” might make them feel a bit anxious or stressed. Letting them know what Santa knows that all kids are good kids is important and that sometimes, kids being “naughty” means that they’re just being part of a fun joke that Santa likes to talk about each year.

This is a great way to have the younger kids not feel as though they’re “bad” or are being punished but helps them to realize that being “good” is something that really should be the focus for the whole year long instead.

Keep the explanation simple and light and merry and help them know that no matter what list they’re on for the holidays, they’re perfect in your eyes!

  • Two – Three Person Groups: You can also calculate points by establishing two to three player groups at the beginning of the game. Teammates work together to complete tasks and add points to their groups total to be declared the winners.
  • Teams: For a gathering, you can split all players up into larger teams. Not each player will participate in each activity but rather a member from their team will work to accomplish a 60 second challenge.

Toy Story Party Printable – Print these easy Buzz Lightyear straw toppers and create a tasty sherbert grape punch at your next Toy Story celebration! 

Toy Story Party Printable – Buzz Lightyear Float

grape soda floats

Anyone ready for Toy Story 4? It’s hard to believe the original Toy Story was released in November 1995. I was in 8th grade and I seriously would have thought it was a movie that was released closer to the ages of my kids! I think the fact that it still holds love by so many, just goes to show it’s a classic that will be around for a long time.

Last Halloween, our family was the cast of Toy Story. It all started out with the Woody and Buzz Lightyear pajamas that I got the twins. Then we all created a costume around the twins first Halloween.

Toy Story Costume

I love doing themed things when it comes to the twins and the best friends of Woody and Buzz, fit perfectly. In order to dream about a future celebration for our Woody and Buzz, we created some Toy Story printables for your next party Toy Story Party including the straw toppers and sherbet grape punch recipe.

Sherbet Grape Punch

Punch Ingredients:

  • 2 scoops green sherbet
  • 1 cup grape soda

Punch Directions:

Scoop the green sherbet into a small cup. Pour the grape soda over the top of the sherbet.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. For more Scout elf tips, visit our Frequently Asked Elf on the Shelf Questions.
