ALL ABOUT SANTA

Christmas is all about Santa Claus for most kids. They love getting anything that relates to the guy in red.

My kids enjoy learning new things. Here are some tidbits of information about Santa Claus you can share with your kids.

  • Other names for Santa Claus are Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas
  • Western culture believes that Santa brings gifts to well-behaved children on Christmas Eve or in the early morning hours of Christmas morning.
  • Santa is said to be over 1,000 years old!
  • The legend says that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole with Mrs. Claus and elves.
  • Santa’s sleigh is supposed to fly at the speed of light.
  • Children like to leave cookies and milk for Santa because they believe he gets hungry while delivering all those presents.

STEP ONE: PRINT OFF TREAT BAG TOPPERS

The first step is to print off the treat bag toppers. Decide how many treat bags you will be making and print off the number of sheets you need to make that many bags.

I prefer to print these off on cardstock so they are sturdy.

Printable FAQs

How do I access the printable?

Fill in the form above. After you submit the form, you’ll receive an email from “Wondermom Wannabe” with a direct link to the printable. If you do not see the email in your inbox within a few minutes, check your spam folder.

Where can I find my file after I download it?

The most likely place will be in your computer’s Downloads folder. You can also select “Downloads” in your browser menu to see a list of your downloads, then simply select “Show in folder” below the file name to see where it is stored on your computer.

How do I print a PDF?

You’ll need a program that supports PDFS, like Adobe Acrobat (which is free). Open the program, click File > Print. Select your printer and set the number of copies you want to print. Double check your print preview, then click print.

STEP TWO: CUT TREAT BAG TOPPERS

Now it is time to cut the treat bag toppers apart. I like to use a paper trimmer so the cuts are nice and smooth. You can also use scissors if you don’t have a paper trimmer.

Fold each topper in half.

STEP THREE: FILL BAGS

Take some clear or decorated cellophane bags and fill them with red M&M’s or another similar candy.

TIP: You can buy bags of M&M’s in one color at local party stores and also on Amazon. This is much quicker than picking all the red candies out of a bag full of multiple colors.

Fill each treat bag about 1/3 to 1/2 full of candy.

STEP FOUR: ATTACH A TOPPER

Take one topper for each treat bag and attach it to the top using a stapler. I like to do 2 staples so it is secure.

Now they are all done and you can start giving them away and making people smile!
