Draw a winding pathway on a piece of white paper. At the beginning of the path, draw a picture of a reindeer, and at the end of the path draw a picture of Santa's sleigh (or glue on pictures of a reindeer and a sleigh cut from holiday giftwrap). Make photocopies of the paper and give one to each of your children.
Then have them draw a crayon line along the pathway on their papers to show how the reindeer would go to find Santa's sleigh.A TREAT FOR SANTA'S REINDEER -Math/CookingIn a large bowl, let your children help mix together 1 cup dry oatmeal, 1 cup sugar, and ½ cup red and green sprinkles. Give each child a small plastic zipper bag to hold open while you place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the Reindeer Treat inside the bag. Then let the children take the treat home to sprinkle outdoors on Christmas Eve for Santa's reindeer to enjoy while Santa eats the cookies left for him.FOLLOW THE REINDEER- Movement.
