Preschool Christmas Wish List Box

By Joanna Young

What’s on your preschooler’s Christmas wish list? Most preschoolers haven’t learned how to write and can’t make lists, but with the Preschool Christmas Wish List Box, your preschooler can speak through pictures instead of words! This fun and simple Christmas craft provides an ideal way for your preschooler to express to you—and Santa!—what s/he wants for Christmas by placing catalog and newspaper cut-outs of toys and games in this special Christmas Wish List Box.

Materials You Will Need

Christmas wrapping paper
Index card or piece of paper
Magic marker
Shoebox
Scissors
Tape

How to Make It

Step 1:

Wrap the shoebox with the Christmas wrapping paper, wrapping the lid separately.

Step 2:

Cut a large slit in the shoebox lid.

Step 3:

On the index card or piece of paper, write “[Your Preschooler’s Name]’s Christmas Wish Box”. Tape the card to the top of the box.

Help your preschooler go through Christmas catalogs and newspaper retail ads, cutting out pictures of desired toys and games to put in the Christmas Wish List Box!
