Those elves will be busy
Students at East Wawanosh School have some creative ideas for Christmas,
especially the Grade 1 class. The class recently sat down with The Citizen to
say what they wanted for Christmas and what means the elves would use to
make those wishes a reality. Shown are, back row, from left: Troy Coultes,
The Grade 1/2 class at East
Wawanosh Public School is excited
for the holidays this year and was
more than happy to sit down and tell
The Citizen what they hoped to get
for Christmas, and how they think
the elves would make it.
Here are some of their thoughts:
“I want a Go-Go Pet for
Christmas, they’re little pets that
move. I think that the elves probably
use a hammer and put it together by
hitting it hard.”
Chloe
“I asked Santa to bring me some
toy motor bikes for Christmas. His
elves would use screwdrivers and
put nails into the bike to make it
stick together and then use screws to
hold the wheels and rims together.”
Tony
“I hope Santa brings me an Easy-
Bake Oven. I think they would make
the handle, then get the trays to put
in it then put the top on top of it and
then put the bottom underneath the
whole thing and hold it all together
with magic and glue.”
Charlotte
“I would like a toy dog named
Cookie. I think the elves would get
some fluff and they would get a toy
collar and they could make a leg and
another leg and another leg and
another leg and attach them to the
body. They would glue gun the body
to the head and legs and then use the
fur to make the ears. Then they
would glue the eyes and mouth on at
the same time.”
Eden
“I want some jewelery and My
Little Pet Shops and some slippers. I
think Santa would buy the jewelery
and the slippers, but the elves would
make the My Little Pet Shop things
by painting them and decorating
them and then putting the eyes, nose
and mouth on all the little things
with glue and paint.”
Kailey
“I want a toy plow. The elves
would need to get wood and metal,
but I hope they use mostly metal
because I got a John Deere tractor
last year and they should have metal
still from making that. They would
use small screws and a small bit
screwdriver to put it together.”
Connor
“I want a road hockey goalie
helmet for Christmas, but I don’t
know how they would make it. I
think they would use tools like a
screwdriver, a hammer and a wrench
to put the stretch straps in the back
and then attach it and the mask to
the helmet with glue and screws and
bolts and nuts.”
Troy
“I want clothes for my Maple Leaf
doll. They would use sewing
machines with pink, baby blue, lime
green and purple thread to make the
clothes. Then they would put
buttons, zippers, hats and mitts and
sweaters together with coats, pants
and a dress and then use magic to
make sure they stick together.”
Alycia
“I hope Santa brings me a unicorn
Webkin for Christmas, and I think
they would probably stitch it
together. They might sew it though,
and use a sewing machine or
something like that. They would
make it with normal cloth and fill it
with feathers.”
Olivia
“I want Zoo Balls and a Barbie
Princess Charm School Toy for
Christmas. I think that the elves
would find some things like plastic
and magnets and use them to make
the Zoo Balls. They would paint the
outside with colours like pink and
purple and then wrap it in a case and
slide it down a space slide and it gets
dropped into Santa’s bag. Then
Santa waves his hand over it to make
it work and drops it off at my
house.”
Paisley
“I want a makeup kit for
