There are many ways you can approach the exercise. Maybe you'll buy the out of the box thank you notes or perhaps you'll print some off of the Internet.{relatedarticles} Once you have your cards in hand, create an arts and crafts station. Encourage your children not only to put their personal stamp on the card, but also express his or her gratitude in the card. The task at hand won't feel like a duty, but instead like a fun arts and crafts project. Even if you decide against doing thank you notes, you should at least have your child personally call Aunt Jane to thank her for the Zhu Zhu pet or Grandpa Tommy for the train set. This lets your loved ones know that their gifts didn't go unrecognized.
