Santa may test all the toys, or not have time to play Contemplationg Santa's play habits Santa has a lot of different toys to play with including trains, elves, board games and Christmas cookie makers.

Front Row: James S., Max A., Cayden B. , Laura D., Emily D., Ty M., Chace B., Presley C. and Kylie C. (Dennyscottphoto) Mrs. Stapleton's Grade 1D2A class at Maitland River Elementary School thinks that Santa Claus' play habits range from the non-existant to the purely professional. When asked what they think Santa does for fun, some said nothing, while others said he tests toys to make sure only good products are making it out of the Christmas factory. "I'm guessing that Santa plays with girls' and boys' toys to test them, but his favourite is probably trains because elves are always making them when we see pictures of them." Presley C. "I think he plays with trains because trains he can build and add to himself so he could always have new trains to play with" Lily V. "I don't think he plays with any toys because he is too busy being Santa Claus" Max A. "Santa Claus plays with the elves because they are his workers. They play Tic -Tac -Toe and Monopoly whenever they have a break" Chace B. "I don't think Santa plays with toys because he is an old man and they don't play with toys" Cayden B. "Santa plays with stockings. He tries to see what fits in the stockings so he knows how to give toys to little boys and girls. It's kind of like a game." Kylie C. "I think Santa would play with a toy that makes Christmas cookies because he likes cookies. He probably likes trains too" Kodah C. "I think that Santa plays with the toys the elves made to make sure they work and they are fun. He would probably test out a toy choo- choo train and a toy model of his Christmas sled." Laura D. "I think Santa would play with trains because they are fun and he can make his own little toy trains because Santa is always making trains in story books" Emily D. "I bet that Santa plays on an Xbox.

"I like to play with Pokemon plus toys because I love Pokemon. Santa probably does too because he loves Pokemon" Ty M. "Santa might like dinosaur toys because he likes them. I don't like them, but I do like robots so maybe Santa plays with robots" Thomas P. "Santa makes special ice toys like an ice train set made of ice because it won't melt. I watched a video where he makes ice trains and they turn into ice planes when they leave the tracks" James S. "I bet that Santa plays with remote control trucks because they are fun." Cody W. "Santa doesn't have time to play with toys. He's too busy building them" Colton H. "Santa doesn't have toys, he has his reindeer. They are like pets, so he goes out and plays with them and loves them and takes care of them." Brooklin R.
