But learning to appreciate the gift and the giver is a true mark of kindness. Teach your preschoolers to appreciate gifts with these two ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you cards.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Receiving a gift is an amazing opportunity to use our crafting skills to make a thank you card. Children love crafts: coloring, stamping, gluing glitter and choosing paper colors. Even if it is a gift your child does not like, respond with excitement that you now get to create a card. Make the card-making process an event. Allow your child to enjoy the gift before making the card, then include something specific you appreciate about the gift. \u201cWe used the Chick-fil-A gift card and loved our nuggets with the new mac and cheese.\u201d \u201cWe have spent hours coloring in the coloring book you gave us. Thank you.\u201d Give your child an opportunity to use their artistic side by drawing a picture of the gift or a picture of themselves using the gift to send to the giver.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you picture.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During your child\u2019s enjoyment of the gift, take a photo to send to the gift-giver. Tell your child that you need to take a picture of them using the gift and let them help you figure out what would make the best picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember the giver.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Write the name of the person who gave it to your child on the bottom of the gift: \u201cTo Tommy from Katie.\u201d As your child plays with the toy you can ask them who gave it to them, remind them of that person\u2019s kindness. If you were gifted a movie pass or a meal, remind your child during the event that it is a gift from a specific giver. When you see the giver in person, prompt your child to tell them how much they enjoyed the gift by recalling these moments to their mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Appreciating gifts is a skillful use of good manners. Teaching your child while they are still a preschooler to appreciate gifts will help them become appreciative adults and turn their focus toward others.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/west-frisco\/2019\/10\/30\/empower-your-preschooler-to-be-a-positive-thinker\/\">Empower Your Preschooler to be a Positive Thinker<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>KIDS \u2018R\u2019 KIDS WEST FRISCO PRESCHOOL PROGRAM<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-image wp-image--no-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/west-frisco\/programs\/preschool-childcare-program\/?utm_source=PreschoolBlog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=L\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-134000000439 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/west-frisco\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2020\/11\/KRKWf-preschool-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Are you interested in learning more about how Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Academy of West Frisco can teach your preschooler about how important appreciation is?
