BUILDING SANTA'S SLEIGH
I was babysitting
the other day and had the afternoon all planned out. We were going to make
Christmas cards for mummy and daddy, read Christmas stories, take a nap, eat
dinner, and then play a game until mummy and daddy picked them up. At least,
that's what I thought.
While we were making
our cards, I asked Caitlin what she thought would be the most fun thing to do
on Christmas Eve. (I had an ulterior motive. I was trying to come up with a big idea for the last of our
Kinetic Christmas blogs and I thought, why not go to the source.)
She said quite simply, "I'd like to ride with Santa."
I thought,
"why not?"
Out came the
trusty cardboard boxes I always have on hand, and we set off on an afternoon of magic making…
 |
| We made sure our sleigh fit just right. |
 |
We decided our sleigh needed headlights
for nighttime driving.
|
 |
We made Santa's seat by cutting the sides of the box, and used the extra bits to make runners for smooth take-offs and landings. We decorated the runners...
|
 |
| ...and added sparkles. (Sparkles make the magic that makes the sleigh fly.) |
 |
| We added tinsel for extra magic. (Lots of tinsel) |
 |
| We added the reindeer reins. |
 |
| And we were ready to fly! |
 |
| With the reindeer in the back, of course. |
 |
| Somehow, everyone got their turn! |
 |
| And together, we flew right past dinnertime! |
Take-out, anyone?
Ho Ho Ho! Merrrrrrrry Christmas!
