Letter to Santa template

Print an open letter for a child who wants to tell Santa something, or choose the separate Christmas wish list for drawing and writing wishes. Each sheet leaves the words up to them.

Four free downloads, one page each. No email or account needed. These are fixed PDFs for writing and drawing by hand, rather than typing into boxes.

A letter, or room for a picture

The letter starts with “Dear Santa” and has open writing lines. A child can describe something they enjoyed this year, ask a question, or write about a wish. There are no sentences to complete or behavior boxes to tick.

The Christmas wish list works on its own, without Santa wording. Its drawing space leaves room for a picture, with lines above for wishes that need more explanation. Print either sheet on its own; there’s no need to complete both.

Print and let them start

Choose the file that matches your paper, then print in portrait at Actual size or 100%. Both designs have white backgrounds and work in black and white. Put out a pencil or crayons alongside the sheet.

If a child would rather talk than write, you can write down the words they dictate. A picture can stand on its own, or they can add a label so someone else knows what it shows. Wishes can include something to do, such as a train ride, as well as things to unwrap.

These sheets are a writing activity to keep at home. They don’t include an envelope, mailing instructions, or a reply from Santa.

For another December activity, the activity advent calendar has cut-apart ideas you can choose and move between evenings.
