Traceable Thank You Notes for Kids

199 shares

Thank you notes have always been important to me but for the younger child who isn’t writing well, thank you notes are a difficult task.  They’re time consuming and not as personal since the parent has to write them.  These traceable thank you notes help a child write their own note and practice their printing at the same time.

To make a traceable thank you note, use Word or another word processing program to print the message that will go on the card.  I sized the document the same as my card, put the text in a text box, and rotated it so that it would print properly on my card.

Use a font that is easily traceable.  For these cards, I used Print Clearly Dashed.  I also like Primary Penmanship Lined but it prints with a much bolder font, making the child’s letters harder to see.

Depending on the font, the words will show very lightly on the card …

… allowing the child to trace over them.

When the tracing is complete, you can add a photo to the front of the card or have the child draw a picture.

So simple but such a sweet, personal way to say thank you from a young one!

    Adorable! It is always hard to get them to sit down and write thank you cards!

    This is such a great way to help little kiddos send handwritten notes and learn about gratitude!

    That is a really great idea. I’ve never started thank you notes and wished I had. Maybe this year.
