Preschool Express by Jean Warren

ORNAMENT STORY
Put several sturdy Christmas ornaments in a bag, and sit with your child. Reach into the bag, take out an ornament, and start telling a story about it. Then let your child take out an ornament and continue the story, making his ornament a part of it. Take turns keeping the story going until all the ornaments have been used, then bring the story to an end.

THINKING OF OTHERS AT CHRISTMAS
Get into the holiday spirit with your child by trying these suggestions.

Make cookies for a shut-in neighbor.

Drop coins into a bell-ringer's kettle.

Put a food item in a food donation bin.

Take a new toy to a children's shelter.

SANTA'S ON HIS WAY
Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell"

Oh, Santa's on his way.
Oh, Santa's on his way.
He's bringing toys
For girls and boys
In his Christmas sleigh.

Oh, Santa's on his way.
Oh, Santa's on his way.
He's bringing ______
And ______ and ______
In his Christmas sleigh.

Elizabeth Scofield

Let your child fill in the blanks with the names of toys Santa might be bringing.

CHRISTMAS MUFFINS
Make or purchase muffins and help your child top them with white frosting. Then give her red and green sprinkles to add for decorations.
