Santa and Three Children Circling a Christmas Tree

Santa Claus and three children hold hands in a circle around a tall Christmas tree that stands in a round wooden tub. Santa has a long beard, a mustache, a fur-trimmed coat and a hat with a pom-pom tail. One child peeks out from behind the tree, a girl in a puffy dress with a big bow tied at the back faces the tree, and a boy in the front has his back to us. The tree is full of detail, with a star on top, bead garlands, round ornaments, a few small wrapped presents, an apple-like ornament, hanging icicle shapes, a star ornament and candles. Big bubble letters across the top spell MERRY XMAS. Try coloring each garland a different color and letting kids pick which ornaments get the most sparkle. Crayons work well for the large round shapes, and fine pencils suit the fur trim and beads.
