Craft: Triangle Santa
This week's craft is based on the picture at left. The children were given a large triangle to color as Santa's hat / body. They were also given half a small paper plate to color as Santa's face. They could cut slits into the edge of the plate for Santa's beard if they liked. The paper plate was glued to the triangle for Santa's head and cotton ball glued to the tip of the triangle of his hat.
Literacy Extensions:
- Do a Christmas countdown with your child. Each day, count the days on a calendar until Christmas.
- The Three Bears' Christmas is a holiday version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears only with Santa as the visitor. Have your child try to "retell" other folk/fairy tales with a Christmas twist.
