Printable Christmas Wish List

You know what one of my favorite parts of Christmas was when I was a kid? I wish I could tell you it was all the services I performed for my community, or the light in my mother’s eyes when she opened a three dollar bottle of drug store bath splash that I had hand-picked for her, but that’s not the case (not to say I didn’t love those things, but…).

My favorite part was getting all the Christmas catalogs and sitting down on my Gramma Polly’s couch with a catalog full of toys and a big black marker. I would circle, circle, circle until every single horse toy in said catalog was clearly marked as something I would like to own. Of course, that didn’t mean I would get them all…but it sure was fun to dream (random side note, I also loved dreaming about winning a Toys “R” Us shopping spree…I remember seeing those commercials and thinking, “YES! That could be ME!”)

Here are some current favorite toys in our house:

Both kids are WAY into Pokemon, and they’re both asking for Pokemon cards (because I guess you can never have enough??). Also, Claire likes to call herself a “Science Girl,” and that’s reflected in her pick for a Science Experiment kit. Also hot items: Razor scooters, the Nintendo Classic system (okay, that might be a hot item on *my* list, too…), NERF blasters, and Shopkins. Oh, and my kids want Pokemon cards.

Did I mention Pokemon cards? 

HA.

So, I am totally excited about the Wish List, but I also thought I’d turn dreaming about toys into a top secret learning activity that no one knows about but me.

I’ve been trying to get the kids to work on their handwriting. So, I told them that they had to write out a list of all the toys they want in their very best handwriting.

Guess what? THEY DID IT. Nobody complained. Nobody whined. Nobody said, “I can’t do it!” and slammed a pencil down on the table. Nope. They just sat there and wrote quietly and efficiently, paying attention to detail (because what if they left off the “EX” and I bought the wrong Pokemon cards, right?!).
