Kids Christmas Swap 2010

Do you have children who sit by the mail box waiting for something to arrive?
Do your children get upset when you recieve something in the mail and they don't?
Do your children enjoy crafting and creating?

Then this is for them.
So this is the plan.

Imagine the joy and excitement on your little one/s face/s when a package arrives in the mail just for them.

What you will send: An Envelope (no bigger than A4 size) filled with goodies for another little child, that has a Christmas Theme.

Ideas:  Paper, Paper/Foam Shapes, Ribbon, Sticky Tape, Material, Card stock, a ready made craft kit, beads, yarn, stickers, recipe for something Christmassy....   The list could go on and on.

    Create something small to add to the parcel.  It is your choice whether this is created by your child or by yourself.

The idea is to have fun it putting this together and creating with your child.  It is not meant to cost the world - but will mean the world to both your child/ren when they are making it or when it is recieved at the other end.

Sign up's CLOSED

Ages:  12 months to 12years (although I am open to making allowances) and where possible your child will swap with someone of a similar age. 

Other Information:  I will email you with your partner/s on Monday 15th, Included will be the address/adresses that you will require (your address will not be shared with anyone else)
Parcels to be posted on or around November 27th so they arrive at the beginning of December.


For those with more than one child. Are you happy to send to individual children - I know that my two would love to recieve their own parcel in the mail.

  3. I will sign both of mine up seperately, it will be a good way to teach them about sending and receiving mail. It will also be a good way to fill in an advent activity day when they get their return package too :)
