Every year my kids love to write Christmas Cards to all the friends in their class. Most kids also include a candy cane or chocolate santa in with their cards. This year with two boys at school we need 52 gifts to make sure every child in each class got one.
So I decided to do something a bit different. My son had learnt at school how to make his own sherbet. So we set about making green and red sherbet. If you need a sherbet recipe click here.
We then packaged the sherbet into tiny clip seal plastic bags and included a green or red lollipop for dipping! We tied the whole lot together in a plastic bag with ribbon and attached a mailing label to each one.
On the mailing labels we decorated one side with washi tape and the other side I print out little messages to stick on each one. The message read:
This was a really simple gift, but was much more personal than store bought cards and candy canes.
Next time I'll show you an easy Secret Santa gift.

Here's some Yummy Elf Dust,
To spread the Christmas Cheer,
And say thank you for being my friend,
Throughout our first Prep year.
(or other variation "throughout our Year 2 year")
Love from Charlie.
