What creative thank you notes can my child make?

The problem for most parents is getting kids to write thank you notes without it turning into a struggle. One trick is to allow kids to create their own way of thanking the person. Here are a few creative thank-you card ideas for kids: Video.

Make a tape of video just for that person that expresses appreciation. Photo. Take a photo of the child wearing or using the gift.

The developed four-by-six inch print makes an instant postcard; the child just writes a brief note on the back and addresses and mails it. Puzzle. Write the thank you on a piece of card stock and then cut it into a few pieces like a jigsaw puzzle.

Cereal spell out. Spell out the thank you using M&M's or alphabet cereal glued on a piece of cardboard. Flower press.

Pick a flower and press it flat for a few days between wax paper arranged inside a heavy book. Once the flower is pressed send it inside a heavy piece of folded paper with a note. (And makes a great bookmark!) Mirror it!

Print the thank you using "mirror-image" writing (completely backwards). Both the child and the recipient generally have to use a mirror to decipher what the message says. Skype it!

Seeing the recipient up close and personal as the child conveys his thanks is a proven way to boost gratitude. Just have the child write a few lines (say it's "like a screenplay") prior to the call to help think through his reasons. Fill in the blanks.

Younger kids will have a harder time with those thank yous. So feel free to give them a template to fill in -- or they can dictate their thoughts to you as you write down the words. E-cards.

If you can't get beyond the struggle, then at least have your child choose from a variety of online thank you cards to fill out and send.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
