Writing a letter to Santa is always a favorite! Today I’m sharing a fun Free Printable Letter To Santa template that will make it a breeze for your kiddos to write their letter to Santa this year.

THIS ACTIVITY WORKS WELL WITH

This template can be used both in the classroom or at home. It would be a fun addition to your writing center this month. You can add some fun markers for them to use or give them a candy cane pen to use as we did. It just makes it a little bit more special while writing their all-important letter to Santa.

Last year during a Parent’s Night Out our PTSA hosted, we even used these letters as part of our Polar Express theme and it was a huge hit.

The letter is in a simple format to help the kiddos write their letter to Santa. There is a spot for their name, age, and boxes to mark for how their behavior has been this year. It then gives a spot for the student to write in what they would like for Christmas. Next, there is a spot for them to write about something they’re going to do. It could be something like being helpful to others to leaving out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

If you are using this as part of your writing center in the classroom, having envelopes and a special mailbox for them to put it in makes it that much more magical! I found out mailbox at TJMax a couple of years ago but have seen a few others out there too since then. HobbyLobby would be another great option to try. Amazon has a bunch of cute ones, but they are quite pricey.

Dramatic play is such an important part of early childhood. There are so many benefits that come from dramatic play. Today I’m sharing a Dramatic Play Pet Vet Clinic Patient Form for the kids to use either at school or at home.

Benefits of dramatic play

• Teaches self-regulation
• Encourages language development
• Teaches conflict resolution
• Supports math and literacy
• Relieves emotional tension
• Empowering to children

One of my kid’s favorite things to play has been pet vet. They like to give the animals check-ups and help them if they are sick. Sometimes they even make a hospital area where they can stay to recover and be taken care of for a while longer if needed.

I made a Dramatic Play Pet Vet Clinic Patient Form for them to fill out for each of their patients. What seems to be the problem today? Print multiple copies of the patient information forms and place them in your dramatic play center with mini clipboards and pencils. Your little learners will love diagnosing and treating their pet patients!

I’ve made them 2 to a page so they fit on a mini clipboard perfectly. You can also print them in color or in black and white.

In case you’re looking to add some fun items to your vet center, this is our favorite vet playset.

I hope your kiddos have as much fun as mine do with these patient forms.

See you next time!
