Letter Writing Tips

Times have changed, now we text, tweet, “Like” and instant message  – anticipation has taken a backseat to immediacy. Give your child the gift of getting “real” mail. Letters are valuable keepsakes…and letter writing can be fun!

An important lesson for kids to learn: If you want to get mail, you’ll need to send mail!

Sending letters teaches even very young children many important skills.

  • Handwriting skills – using neat handwriting, correct spelling, etc
  • Letter-writing skills – tell the recipient about something that happened to you, ask the recipient questions about themselves

Here are a few ways to make letter-writing creative:

  • Very young children can send drawings and include a note with some help from Mom or Dad.  (click here for Mickey Mouse coloring pages)
  • Older children can ask the character questions – “What is it like to live at Walt Disney World?”  “What is your favorite ride or attraction?”  “Where do you go on vacation?”
  • Or tell the characters how excited they are to visit them at Walt Disney World and share which ride or attraction excites them the most.
