In the box I have included some mini cards, some Christmas stampers, coloured and regular pencils, Stencil cards {to use on the bigger cards in the back of the basket}, word mats {see more about these below} and a book full of Christmas stickers!
I printed and laminate these Christmas and Christmas Card Word Mats to help with the card writing. These are a free download from the Teacher’s Pet website:
I think I will have to make a grownup Christmas card writing station for me! It would be helpful to keep everything in one place, plus it makes it portable :o}
We are loving our little Card Writing station and the kids are enjoying writing to their sweet friends.
I am yet to decide if they’ll write to each child in the class. In previous years Noah has done, but he has a pretty big class this year and I’m not sure he’s keen.
I think you just let Noah choose what he wants to do Xmas cards. If you’re doing little treats / presents for everyone, perhaps just write a quick note, scan it and include it on the tag or something. No need to write for everyone if he doesn’t want to!
Thank you, I think you’re right and this is what I have been leaning towards! Thank you x
this is such a cute idea! I’ve never commented before but I’ve been following your blog for sometime. Thanks for all the great ideas and the honesty of opening up your lives (both good and bad) to us. Take care and enjoy the holiday season with your family of three this year!

Thank you so much Nicole! xxx
Love it!!! I always send Xmas cards & love receiving them – but feel as if it’s a dying tradition, ppl just resort to Facebook or email – so sad!
I def don’t receive as many as I send out, but I will continue to send every year and as soon as my kids are old enough – I’ll be copying this idea – love it!
Owh I need one for myself too – good idea. Not always in a writing frame of mind!
Last year my Kindy child wrote his name on each card as well as told me one nice thing about each child and I wrote that down. This year he isn’t so keen so I’m doing a printed note and he can handwrite each child’s name. I’d say start only giving to close friends when you see a big separation in being friends with everyone and being friends with a select few.
I absolutely love this!! My kids are only 2 and 4 so don’t know how to write yet but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for when they’re a little older.
I am a Christmas card person. I’ve started a tradition where each year I get the kids wear Christmas hats or dress Christmassy and hold a sign saying something like ‘Merry Christmas 2013’ and I snap a heap of photos. Then I choose my favourite and get it printed on Christmas cards. Every year I also get a photo calendar made for my grandma and use some of the other photos in the month of December.
I think I usually get about the same amount of cards back as the number I send out.
