Burnham Bunch: Santa Claus

Christmas Part II

Read: 10 Trim-the-Tree'ers by Janet Schulman and Where, Oh Where is Santa Claus? by Lisa Wheeler

Storyboard: Read 10 Trim-the-Tree'ers and at the prompts, have children place items onto storyboard felt tree.

Craft: Candy Cane

• Need: Sticky-back paper. Ripped bits of red and white tissue paper. Glitter.
• Prior to storytime, trace candy cane shape onto non-sticky side of sticky-back paper and then into rectangles.
• At each seat, tape sticky-back paper (with backing removed) onto the table -- sticky side up.
• Instruct children to sprinkle a bit of glitter and then stick red and white tissue onto the candy cane, trying to remain in the lines of the shape.
• Have each child raise their hand when completed. Apply a sheet of white copy paper on top of sticky-back paper. Cut into the candy cane shape.
