Why not try one of these activity ideas:
- What are your family traditions on Christmas Eve?
- Draw a picture of the Elves and Santa on the sleigh before they take off to deliver the presents.
- The Elves and Santa love eating cookies on Christmas Eve what ingredients would you put in a cookie to make it extra delicious and Christmassy?
- Sing ‘Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’ with your friends.
- Using old clothes and anything you can find disguise yourself just like Santa and the Elves did in order to return Tug Boat.
- Even though Santa had left Tug Boat’s family presents it wasn’t Christmas until Tug Boat came back. Spending time with family is an important part of Christmas, who do you spend time with at this time of year?
