Their name, right in the PDF
Open the PDF, type your child's name in the boxes provided, then print. They'll find it on their certificate, as if it had been made just for them.
From December 1 to 24, Jingle, one of Santa's elves, writes to your child every evening. A letter to read aloud, a 10 to 15-minute activity (coloring, crafts, mazes, memory, shadows, riddles, a cookie recipe, a Christmas card, tic-tac-toe…) and a little kindness mission for the next day. Each evening your child cuts out a piece and glues it on the big North Pole wall map (2 pages to tape together): on the 24th, Santa arrives on the map. Their mission tree fills with stars, and the Honorary Elf certificate is waiting on Christmas morning.

Frequently asked questions
Will I receive anything in the mail?
No, these are PDF files. You get them right after payment and print them at home, as many times as you like.
How do I add my child's name?
Open the PDF in any reader (Adobe Reader, your computer's or phone's built-in viewer), click the “Name” box, type it, then print. You can also write it by hand.
What ages is it for?
Ages 4 to 8. The treasure hunt comes in two levels: picture clues for ages 4-6 and riddles to read for ages 7-8. The game book and the grimoire each come as two books: one for ages 4-6, one for ages 7-8.
Is it scary?
No. Shy ghosts, curious cats and grinning pumpkins: the mood is mysterious, never frightening.
What language are the files in?
Every purchase includes the English, French and German versions.
What if I lose my files?
The link in your confirmation email stays valid. Lost it? On the “Find my kits” page, enter your email address and we will send it again.
I didn't receive the email. What should I do?
First check your spam folder or the "Promotions" tab: our shop is brand new and some email providers are still cautious. Add commandes@minuitmerveilles.com to your contacts for future emails. Still nothing? On the "Find my kits" page, enter your address and we'll resend your links. Your files can also be downloaded from the page shown right after payment.
Can I download on my phone?
Yes. The link works on phones, tablets and computers. To print, open the PDF on the device connected to your printer.
How do I print it well?
Choose “Actual size” or “100%” in your print settings. Black and white is fine. For the cards, slightly thicker paper (60 lb / 160 gsm) holds up better.
I'm a teacher. Can I use it in class?
Yes, with the classroom license: choose “Classroom (30 pupils)” on the kit page. You print for your whole class and receive an invoice for your school.
Can I get a refund?
If a file won't open or doesn't match its description, write to us and we'll refund you.
