Making Christmas lists is one of the most fun parts of prepping for Christmas. My kids are a little young to write out their Christmas list in full so, this year, I decided to take a different approach.
I started with a large piece of cork board and a piece of red fabric I found in the bargain scrap bin at Walmart.
Typically, I would have used my staple gun to attach the fabric but it was missing. So, I used little thumbtacks instead.
On the front, I attached letters I had cut out to made the categories of the list: Want, Need, Read
Then, we pinned pictures of the items H had started with for her list into the right categories.
The board is much fuller now that H has picked out more items. She has so much fun cutting out the pictures and putting them on the board.
She has also been putting items she thinks E wants onto his matching board.
How do you do Christmas lists in your house?

Such a creative idea! I have a 3-year-old who likes me to help him with his list. We do something similar with our gifts, too: Something he wants, something he needs, something to experience, something to read.
Love this idea!
Such a great idea! It’s always a great reminder to distinguish between the needs and wants… no matter the age 🙂
GREAT idea!! Such a good way to break it down for kids.
Very cool! We always just had a piece of paper and wrote down what we wanted. In pencil, of course, cuz it changed like every day! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
I love this idea, great for the little ones!
