DD's special request to Father Christmas

[vonnyh]

DD (8) has written her Christmas list to FC, She's asked that he replies to her letter with a handwritten letter and a hoofprint from one of the reindeer! Is it possible to buy reindeer hoofprint stamps?!

Try potato prints. Good luck.

That's lovely! Do you think she is trying to catch him out? I'd have thought potato prints would do the trick too - and a liberal sprinkling of elf dust!

What are potato prints?

Potato prints.....cut a large potato in half and make a hoofy shape to use.

Just googled quickly and found these instructions.

Google to see what deer hoof prints look like.

I had all this with DD and the tooth fairy back in the day. She would leave notes for her at all sorts of times - not tooth related, and wanted a photograph of her. It starts with a hoof print, but slippery slope and all that...

Teenagewildlife -thats along the lines of what I was about to type.

We also started with the toothfairy....thin end of the wedge blah blah blah.....

Potato print makes sense but what on earth are you going to do about the handwriting? Anyone you can rope in?

Oh that's really sweet

DS2 (5) wouldn't show me his christmas list and told me it was only for Father Christmas to see. I suspect he is testing the theory too

I think I'll be able to forge FC's handwriting, after all , she's never seen it! Those instructions look good, thanks, She's definitely testing the the "legend" of FC, she told me a boy in her class told her last week that FC isn't real........ thanks for all the replies!

For the "handwritten" toothfairy letters I just used a typeface on the pc and printed it off incredibly small.

DD was so amazed at the teeny, tiny letter that she didn't notice it was done on the computer
