Kids will love making their own DIY Santa Letter this year. We added this to our Nordic Noel Kid Christmas Playdate as a fun activity for the kids. Santa letters are such a fun way to add holiday cheer. Let little ones decorate their own letter with washi tape, DIY cards, and free printables! Let kids write a letter to Santa, sharing some things they would like for Christmas. Tie up with Christmas twine and send off to the North Pole!
