My daughter is really into writing letters. She wants to write all by herself and told me that I could just say each letter and then she would be able to write her own thank yous. Well… I worried that process might take a very LONG time so I came up with this…
I found this great font called Quicksand. It can be downloaded for free here.
I printed two thank yous on a page. On the inside she dictated what she wanted to say and I printed the cards again with the messages on the inside and then cut the cards in half and folded.
She was busy and felt so good!
Here is a round-up of printable thank yous from around the web.
Muchísimas gracias por compartir ésto!! yo también tengo una niña pequeña que está aprendiendo ahora y la información me viene fenomenal!
Gracias de nuevo y enhorabuena por tu blog. Das unas ideas bueníiiisimas.
What a great idea! My son is still a little too young for this idea, but I will definitely keep it in the back of my mind. Really so creative!
Great tip! I actually already had the Quicksand font installed but didn’t realize it had a “dashed” version. Thanks!
Thanks for the font suggestion. My daughter’s kindergarten teacher and my almost preschooler will love it! It’s so hard to find fonts with the lowercase “a” the way kids learn it in school. Great find!
What a great idea! I will have to remember this when my little one gets older. Thank you for sharing.
How Cute!
What a great idea! I love it. My son just had a birthday & this will be perfect.
I have a template that I use from tlsbooks.com that you can type a message onto that the kiddos can then trace over. you can find it here http://www.tlsbooks.com/handwritingworksheets.htm
They also have tons of other great & free printables! =]
What a wonderful idea! genius! I love it 🙂
What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I can’t wait to work on these with my daughter.
Ohhhhh, such a great idea! And, you are a great mom for helping her write thank you notes! Just the cutest!!
Fantastic idea! Unfortunately I’m technologically challenged and although I can download the file I am uncertain how to ‘use’ it? Do I need a particular program to be able to use it? or is there a way to import it into to my Word program? Any advice would be appreciated! 🙁
good idea. Here was our solution this year for 4 year old thank yous.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Okay, I must be lame. I tried to download it. there we a bunch of folders so I clicked extract files. When I click on the dash file I see a prewritten sentence in various sizes, but I can’t figure out how to do my own. The only choice I see on that page is print or done. HELP!
Bookmarking with a quickness!! My VERY independent Kinder will be ecstatic… as is Mommy. Hallelujah! 😀
