Use them to act out a Christmas story

Finger puppets are always fun, and everyone gets to easily participate in the story. What does an elf sound like? What does a reindeer sound like for that matter!

Add some scenery with a simple sheet of A4 paper on a table, and with a few markers turn it into anything from the North Pole to the roof of your home.

Get crafty with your characters

Crafty coloured in and decorated characters; elf, Santa and reindeer.

A quick glance in your craft box will give you plenty of inspiration but why not try:

Some glue and glitter would make for a very fancy Santa Claus hat and shiny buckles/bells.
Green, red and brown felt and glue is a great way to jazz up clothes and Rudolph's fur.
Cotton wool and glue will make for an excellent fluffy beard or fuzzy hat trim.
Shiny belt buckles and bells can come from tin foil too. Do you have any chocolate that has been wrapped in foil? It might be a fun colour.
