Example

Dear Grandma,

Thank you for the rocket kit. We built it on Saturday and it went really high!

I love you.

Love, Leo

A greeting, the gift, one detail, and their name.

Thank You Card Wording for Kids

Young kids can copy one of these word for word. Older kids can use them as a starting point and add their own detail.

Birthday Party Thank You Notes

  • Thank you for coming to my party and for the art set. I already used it!

  • Thanks for the building set! I built it the same day.
  • Thank you for coming to my birthday. I had so much fun at the pool with you.
  • Thank you for the soccer ball. I kick it every day after school.
  • Thank you for my present. You are a great friend.

Thank You Notes to Grandparents

Short Thank You Notes for Little Kids

For kids who are just learning to write, a few words and a drawing are plenty.

  • Thank you! I love it.
  • Thank you for my toy.
  • Thanks for coming!
  • You are the best. Thank you!
  • I love my new book. Thank you!

Tips for Getting Kids to Write Thank You Notes

  1. Write them soon. A day or two after the party is easiest, while everyone still remembers who gave what.
  2. Make a list first. Write down each guest and gift so your child only has to copy the details.
  3. Keep it short. Two sentences and a name is plenty for young kids.
  4. Let them decorate. A drawing or a sticker makes the card their own.
  5. Do a few at a time. Five cards a day is easier than twenty in one sitting.
  6. Let them mail it. Kids like to put the stamp on and drop the envelope in the mailbox.
