       The foundation for this doll is a lollipop. The head may be traced on a piece of cardboard and painted with acrylics. Miss Lollipop's cap is white crepe paper gathered with a thread and needle. The back view shows the adjustment. The head is pasted to a piece of white around the upper edge to xx, leaving room for the top of the lollipop. Paste and use needle and thread to fasten on clothes. Follow this order in dressing: cap, underskirt, over-skirt, cape, tie. The cap edge should have a frill. All is white except the violet over-skirt and tie. For a Christmas doll replace the over-skirt and tie with red or green colors.

Christmas Doll Coloring, Poems and Drawing

A Christmas Doll's Plans 
I'm a Christmas dolly,
As you can see;
I was bought and hung
On a Christmas tree.

My mistress is named
Miss Janey Lou;
And I'll tell you right now
What I'm going to do.

In the mornings I'll rise 
And rush all about,
Tidying the house,
Inside and out.

I'll dust and I'll sweep,
I'll bake and I'll stew,
All for my mistress,
Miss Janey Lou.

Then after our breakfast
We'll go for a walk;
We'll sit in the park,
And together we'll talk.

Oh, we'll be just the happiest
Pair in the town,
I-Christmas Dolly,
And Janey Lou Brown.

 Christmas Eve by Christopher Moreley

Our hearts to-night are open wide,
The grudge, the grief are laid aside;
The path and porch are swept of snow,
The doors unlatched; the hearthstones
glow-
No visitor can be denied.

All tender human homes must hide
Some wistfulness beneath their pride;
Compassionate and humble grow
Our hearts to-night.

Try cutting a paper Christmas Bell chain or border using the template below. Then hang it on the tree, window or anywhere about the house that needs a bit of Christmas cheer.


       Download and print out the pattern below. The dotted lines indicate where the image will be folded to continue the tree silhouette seamlessly after it is unfolded. The number of images "linked" together in one continuous chain is determined by the length of the paper being cut. Use a very thin paper to make your cutting easier. Cut away the areas indicated by the design. (see image above and read text on the pattern below. This paper-cut may be used as a border around a Christmas bulletin board in a classroom or as a paper chain for the Christmas tree if you like.

 Can you draw Santa Claus? Remember to draw his snow white beard.

Left, "By the North Pole, mid snow and ice, there lives a man who's always nice." Center, "He spends his time, as you will see, just making things for you and me." Right, "I know you'll like him, just because this jolly man is Santa Claus."   


       Below is a mask that you can wear and pretend to be Santa with. Color it as you wish, cut it out, fold on the dotted lines near the ears and string a piece of elastic through the holes to keep it attached to your face. On this mask, Santa wears a red felt cap with holly and he smokes an old corn-cob pipe. The original drawing is older than 100 years!

       Did you know that holly grows in practically every country in the world, as there are more than one hundred and fifty varieties, so that some flourish in every climate. The custom of using holly at the winter festival is of great antiquity and is believed to have come from the ancient pagan festivals. It was used at Christmas by the early Christians. According to tradition holly is the bush in which Jehovah appeared to Moses.

"There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a burning bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up." Exodus 3:2
 
 
       To see what Santa sees, take a pencil and, starting at dot one, draw a continuous line from dot to dot in consecutive order. Where two numbers appear beside one dot, use the dot twice.

        What if your Teddy bear was Santa Claus? How would you draw him on the roof top with a big bag of toys? Well, you can draw that with just a few shapes and a sharpened pencil. Then color him in and hang the picture over your bed so you can think of a story to go along with the idea...
