“Katta is on Vacation”
Dear children, do you know what I love to do most? Vacation, of course! Don't you want to visit me at the hotel for a few days and go on vacation with me? We can play, craft, solve puzzles, and read stories together. In the evening, we'll rock the mini disco. I give every child a personal travel diary. So, how does that sound? I'm looking forward to seeing you.
See you soon, Your Katta.
