how to write
birthday
cards & thank
you notes finding the right message to put in a birthday card can be tricky. here are a few tips to help
spread birthday wishes. ? keep it short and sweet. children are often too excited to read long messages. ? if you know the theme of the party ahead of time, cater your message to go along with the theme. for example, ?happy birthday, princess mya? or ?all hail the birthday princess!? writing thank you notes with your children will help instill a lifelong habit well into adulthood. use these tips to help make it fun. ? take a picture of your child and their friend while at the party and include the photo in the thank you note. ? let them get creative! if they aren?t writing just yet, let your child draw a picture to send along to their friend. ? ask them what they want to say. they may not be able to write their note just yet, but they can help you decide what they want to say. ? don?t do them all in one sitting. your child can and will lose interest. once they do, it?s time for a break. aaaaaaarrrrgghh! thank you, me matey 2015-16 cover kid: zaidon p. july 2016 | brparents.com 69
