Might it keep your kids busy for a half hour coloring and putting together this jointed Santa puppet from the December 1942 Children’s Friend? (Use brads — the metal fasteners with the two spreading prongs that you used to use for fastening school reports — for the joints.)

Simultaneously cute and disturbing … 🙂
I think this is delightful! I just might print it out for a Sunday afternoon activity for my kids – at least the younger ones.
I’m going to print this out to take with me when I visit my grandkids after Christmas. The younger ones will love it. And I can tell them it is even older than me!
I think the best thing with this is that it doesn’t tell which parts of the dismembered Santa are legs and which are arms. For younger children this adds a challenge and makes it even more interesting.
We’re going to make these this afternoon!
Any of you who do make these, how about sending a picture to post? (AEParshall at aol dotcom)
