Playing With Christmas Toys

If your preschooler is like mine, the layers of paper and gift bags have spread throughout the house and the children really don't remember everything they have opened. My children got three gifts from Santa, three gifts from Mommy & Daddy, miscellaneous gifts from aunts, uncles, and cousins, and TONS of gifts from Papa and Mimi! They hardly remember what they opened yesterday. I have an aunt who used to make her daughter write a thank you not before she got to play with anything (following Christmas day). That was encouragement to get those notes out! I have a lot of things in a box and we are taking them out slowly. Help your preschooler appreciate the gifts and not be overwhelmed with the abundance of gifts. Help them appreciate the person that gave the gift by reminding them who took the time to remember them this year. And the thank you notes would be nice too!
