letter to Santa examples by age
Each age writes differently: at 3 it is one or two dictated lines, at 7 there is room for a short account of the year, at 12 the letter turns into a conversation. See five examples generated by the tool, one per age, and how to adapt the outline.
A short opening, good for a child to dictate: This is Leo. I am 3 years old and I live in Austin.
The child can already copy the name onto the line: This is Mia. I am 5 years old and I live in Denver.
The tone is conversational: My name is Sam, I am 7 years old and I live in Boston.
The hard days item always comes last: This year I was kind to my friends and had a few hard days, but I tried to do better.
Two items become one sentence joined with and: This year I worked hard at school and was kind to my friends.
Pick Letter to Santa, then fill in your child's name, age, city, how the year went, up to 5 wishes, a thank-you and a promise, and print it in one of four designs. Anything left blank prints as a line for the child to finish by hand, and there is also a plain lined sheet to write everything from scratch.
Almost always one wish and a name. Since the child cannot write yet, an adult types what they dictate: the tool builds the letter with the introduction and lines for the child to sign or draw. Filling in a name, an age and one wish is enough.
Three works well for most families, since it asks for a choice without shutting down imagination. The tool takes from one to five, and the letter fits the page even with five wishes of 80 characters each.
The text comes from the fields: changing a field changes the sentence at once. To write freely, use the Lined design and let the child write by hand, or copy the text into an editor, since the tool has a Copy text button.
An age from 1 to 17 goes into the text, with 1 year old in the singular; any other value becomes a blank line to fill by hand. The same goes for name, city, wishes, thank-you and promise: nothing is left with an odd empty gap.
In the print dialog, turn off Headers and footers and keep the scale at 100%.
Nothing leaves your browser: the child's name and the letter are built on this device and are not sent or stored.
