Santa Reading a Note on the Doorstep

Santa Claus stands on a doorstep holding a sheet of paper in one hand, with a big round sack slung over his other shoulder and tied at the top with a bow. He wears a pom-pom hat, a thick belt with a round buckle, a trimmed coat, and pointed boots. His long beard and mustache cover much of his face. Behind him is a closed door with a fluffy wreath and a large bow hanging in the middle. A small bird perches on the step near his feet, and a little potted tree decorated with round ornaments sits on the left. Try coloring the wreath in several greens and a bright ribbon, then ask kids what they think the note says and have them write it on the paper. Printing it for a holiday classroom station works well too.
