Thank-you cards that your kids will love to write
My mom was amazing with personal notes--she always produced the loveliest card, written just-so, perfectly on-time, for every occasion.  Her mastery of the art form skipped a generation. But the good news is that means my kids have a fair shot at note-writing expertise--and these adorable new educational cards can only help.
Letter Learning is a line of educational greeting cards for kids, invented by teacher and mama Ellen Richard. There's a card for every occasion--from birthdays to party invites to "just because," with cute illustrations and pre-made words that kids trace out so that they're "writing" while learning to write at the same time.

There are cards for just-learning-to-hold-a-pencil to more advanced writers (who can also try out cursive word scrambles and awesome color-by-numbers math cards). And I can't imagine there's an age group that wouldn't like to receive one of these. -Lexi
