Training Kids to Write

Have you ever asked a kid to write a thank you note only to hear moans and groans?  While kids seem to have no trouble texting messages to friends, updating Facebook or chatting online, it can be difficult to encourage them to sit down and hand write a thank you note for generous aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends.

A great way to develop your child’s interest in writing is by starting them off with cute, fun, personalized stationary at an early age.  For children 5 and under, parents should keep a stack of “Mad Lib” style stationary on hand that makes it simple for them to say thanks after birthdays, recitals and other events.  By making it simple for your child to write letters, you can show them the importance of handwritten notes at an early age and help them develop good habits before they move up to longer notes and more grown-up stationery. 

We have tons of great stationery options for young children, and we can even design something from scratch if you or your child has a particular theme in mind.  By choosing a fun design that your child likes, your child can develop good manners while expressing his or her personality.  Here are a few options that we really like:
