This printed kit includes a letter from a boy or girl from that country (written by Rebecca) that tells about where they live, what Christmas is like there, and asks some questions in return. The PERFECT way to introduce the lesson, we went all out on this!
Packaged in a cute little card box with rustic kraft envelopes and stickers to seal each one, the letters are printed on beautiful linen natural paper with fun little sketches. They are addressed Dear _________, leaving room for you to write the name of your child or your family name. You CAN get one for multiple children (a pack for each) but keep in mind, the content is the same in each kit. Finished off with a festive piece of elastic to hold it all together, you are ready to go. You can address it and hide it somewhere new each day, stick it in your Christmas tree, or even pop it in the mail and have it arrive!
They are specifically written in pen pal style, asking questions of the recipient. This leaves room for your kids to write back if they want, which they can do to our warehouse! These are available in printed format (not available in digital), and there is a limited quantity available, so snag your kit early if you want one!
