our Christmas song for the end of year assembly. It is all about Santa Claus and there is a
copy in the Poem and Song book. We would
love it if children could find a Santa
hat to wear for this item.
Apparently they are easy to find at $2 shops or the like. Let me know if this is not possible for you.
· Thanks so much to
Katherine Glass for nominating us at New World Ashburton to receive a massive
stash of New World minis for our little shop.
We have shelved these and we are open to trading any double ups you have
at home. Massive thanks to New World
Ashburton!
