How to use these pages
Writing to Santa is often a child's first real letter. The fill-in-the-blanks page gives beginning writers a frame (name, age, something they are proud of, three wishes), the lined page leaves room for older children to write freely, and the draw-and-write page lets preschoolers draw their wish and copy a few words on handwriting lines.
The wish list doubles as a gift list for grandparents, and the letter from Santa is for grown-ups: fill in the child's name, something they did well this year and a message from Rudolph, then leave it under the tree.
In class, the letters make a quick December writing lesson: talk about how letters start ("Dear…") and end ("Love from…"), then post them in a classroom mailbox.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I send a letter to Santa?
In New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Canada and the US the national postal services run free or low-cost Santa letter programmes each December. Check your local post office website for the address and the last posting date, which is usually early December.
Which template suits a preschooler?
The draw-and-write page: children draw what they would like in the big box and copy or trace a few words on the three handwriting rows.
Can I fill these in on a computer?
Print them for handwriting. On a tablet you can colour the heading and the Christmas shapes in the colouring studio, but the lines are made for pencils.
Is there a PDF to print?
Yes. Every page has free PDF downloads for US Letter and A4 paper, with the picture centered inside print-safe margins. Choose "Download PDF (Letter)" or "Download PDF (A4)" on the page and print at 100% (actual size).
