Savvy mum shares genius Babybel hack which makes kids’ letters to Santa even more fun

A CREATIVE mum has come up with a unique way of sending her kids’ letters to Santa that makes it even more fun.

TikTok user Ashlea Rowlands, whose profile is @ashleas_kitchen, revealed she uses the wax from Babybels to create a seal on the outside of the letter – and her children couldn’t get enough. 

The clever and inventive technique can be completed using just the red wax from a Babybel and a potato. 

Alongside the video, which showed how you can do the hack at home, Ashlea wrote: “Christmas letters to Santa done.

“And with a little added magic by using a potato and the wax from a Babybel! 

She added: “The kids loved it, they wanted to do more.”

Ashlea then explained exactly how it’s done, as she recorded herself in a video called: “Make our letters for Santa with us.” 

The mum went on to say: “While the kids are busy writing the letters, I get the Babybel wax that was left over from lunch.

“I melt the wax safely and then push a fruit star stamp into a potato and cut around it.”

Once the wax is melted and the potato star is ready to be used, Ashlea got her children to put their lists into envelopes.

Together, they then put their unique spin on it by pouring the wax onto the middle of the envelope flap, and then pushing the potato stamp into it to create the festive star shape. 

Ashlea continued: “Such a cute star wax seal.

“Such a magical activity for the kids. They loved doing the Babybel wax seal.”

Ashlea’s followers couldn’t get enough of the simple but sweet idea, as they rushed to like the video, indicating that they’d be trying it out when their children wrote their lists to the North Pole.
