Friendly Steam Engines and Carolers by the Christmas Tree

Three steam engines with big friendly faces sit on a track in a snowy town square, facing a tall Christmas tree topped with a large star. The tree is covered in round ornaments, candy canes, bells, bulb shapes and swooping garlands. Near it, a small group of carolers in long coats and hats stands together, and one man in a top hat and vest stands in front with his hand raised. Snowflakes of different sizes fall over tall brick buildings with lots of windows, awnings, street lamps and icicles. Puffs of smoke rise from the engines' funnels. Try coloring each engine a different bright color so kids can tell them apart, then add soft blues and grays to the buildings so the tree and trains stand out. The printable page also works well for talking about winter and holiday songs.
