Craft: Triangle Santa
The craft we did was based on the picture above. It was fairly simple to make. Our version was flat and did not stand up although that would have been very cute. The other main difference is that we used cotton balls for the beard and hat trim.
Literacy Extensions:
- Write a letter to Santa with your child explaining any bad misdeeds (i.e. Have You Been Naughty or Nice?)
- Try to come up with Christmas versions of popular fairy and folk tales (i.e. The Three Bears' Christmas)
