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. Back row, from left: Wesley M., Cody W., Dallas M., Colton H.,

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.
He probably plays a game he made
himself like Santa Temple Run so he
can practise how to deliver toys."
Wesley M.
"I think Santa plays with a
train set, a toy helicopter and
toy cars because those are

normal boy toys to play with"
Dallas M.
"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."
