  • Home Printer
  • Cardstock or Printer Paper

Instructions

  • Begin by printing out the Secret Santa Message Printable. Make sure your printer settings are adjusted for the best quality to make the decoding fun and clear.
  • If you participate in the Elf on the Shelf tradition, place the printed message in a spot where your Elf can 'deliver' it to your children. This could be anywhere from their breakfast table to under their pillow.
    If you're not using an Elf on the Shelf, you can fold the printed message and place it in an envelope addressed to your child from Santa. Pop it into your mailbox for a delightful surprise.
  • Hand your child the message along with a pen or pencil. Show them the decoding box at the bottom of the printable.
  • Encourage your child to use the decoding box to decipher each symbol or letter in the message. This is a great exercise in problem-solving and can be a fun family activity.
