Lift up the wrapping paper to see what each child wants for Christmas. The Santa is from the TLC prek book, Sept-Dec.

TLC's Nutcracker (my 1st graders completed these)

This is the Gingerbread man that we made and took to the cafeteria to bake.  When we returned, (you guessed it) he was gone!  Here's the fun part. . . I took this picture, made color copies, cut them out and secretly sent it home for parents to take pictures of him in their houses, in the car, shopping. . . where ever!  Then the parents e-mailed them back to me with a little note from the Gingerbread man and shared them with the kids.

  It was hysterical! 

These are the bags we make to home all the cute Christmas projects and gifts.  Our Super Target has these bags with handles.  They are perfect!

Handprint snowman ornament.

Snowman can to put the snowman ornament in.  The cafeteria saves the big cans for me.

Polar Express jingle bell. 

Put a class set of bells in a box, and address it to your class.  Put it in the freezer over night.  Right after you watch Polar Express, have someone come running into your room with the box saying "Oh my goodness!  This box is freezing! Quick open it!!!"  Inside will be COLD bells straight from the North Pole.  And all the kids can hear them ring!

In first grade, we made sombreros when we studied Mexico.

To make the Grinch grin. . .

Attach to a green candy cane.
