Christmas Presents Writing Paper

Wrapped boxes, shiny bows and the fun of giving make Christmas a great time to write. This Christmas presents writing paper gives first graders a bright, roomy page for writing about the gifts they give and get. Wide, evenly spaced lines help beginning writers form their letters neatly and keep each sentence on track.

The page opens with a Name and Date line and a simple writing prompt: We give gifts at Christmas. Write about the best gift you got. Below the prompt are ten full-width writing lines sized for 1st grade handwriting, and a cheerful picture at the bottom shows wrapped presents with big bows, a gift bag full of tissue paper and a candy cane to spark ideas. Every child writes about their own gift, so each finished page is different.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF writing page
• A Name and Date line
• A Christmas writing prompt about a favorite gift
• Ten wide writing lines at a 1st grade handwriting size
• A colorful presents picture to inspire ideas

This 1st grade Christmas writing page helps kids in three ways. First, the prompt gives reluctant writers an easy place to start, because every child can remember a gift that made them smile. Second, the generous line spacing supports neat handwriting and good letter size, so children can focus on their ideas instead of squeezing their words in. Third, describing a real gift builds voice and detail, as students tell who gave it, what it looked like and why it was special.

Teachers can use the Christmas presents writing paper for a December journal entry, a writing center, morning work or a quick holiday writing sample. Ask students to tell what the gift was, who gave it and how they felt when they opened it, or to add one sentence about a gift they would like to give someone else. Parents and homeschool families can use it for a winter break writing activity, a thank-you note draft or a fun page to finish after opening presents. Finished pages make a festive classroom display or a keepsake to send home.
