Kids Need Play

Read a Book with Santa

Dear Reader;

Hope your Christmas is going great! I wrote this post early because I’m probably in the middle of tearing wrapping paper and hyper kids as per publish time.

I can’t take credit for coming up with this activity, though it’s totally awesome! My daughter’s preschool arranged to have Santa come and visit the classroom an evening last week and invited the whole family to come meet him. He read a story to all the kids, then they each got to have their picture taken with him, and he gave all the kids a book to take home. Seriously the coolest after-school thing ever for a preschooler! It was such a fun night. there were other little crafts to do while we waited to meet Santa, so the kids didn’t get too bored of waiting in line. The teacher came around to make sure everyone had a turn, and they stayed busy the whole time we were there. I’m really impressed with how fun the evening was!

She also had a big mailbox for Santa to collect the letters we wrote last week. Easy peasey. And all of my girls loved it. You’d think my toddlers would be terrified, but honestly they’re obsessed with him. I don’t even really know why, since I don’t really emphasize him much at our house. But they knew who he was, and went right up to him!
