How would you make the toy you want for Christmas in Santa’s Workshop? “I want a Hannah Montana Barbie Doll. You would probably need brown paint, legs and arms, rubber and string. Then you would get the string and put it through the legs and then put it through the arms and then put the head on. Then you’d have to get a paintbrush and paint the Barbie brown.” - Brinna “I want a monster truck. You’d need black rubber, plastic and some paint. Probably orange, green, red and blue and the right tools. First you’d put the wheels on, then put the plastic on top and use the tools to shape it. Then you’d paint it, the top orange, the wheels green, the top red and then when the wheels are dry, paint them blue.” - Rorie “I want some Lego. To make the Lego, you would put it in a box and then put all the stubs on the top. That’s how you make the Lego. If you’re making a truck, you would have to have a person with it to drive the truck. You would need the legs and a head and a helmet for the person. Then you could put it in a big box.” - Reid “I would want some Star Wars Lego. You would have to have some paint and then let it dry to make the blocks. Then for the Star Wars people you’ve got to be good. Santa will make them, he’ll have it and he’ll make the face and the hands and the body and the legs and he’ll make it look like the Star Wars people.” - Rylee “I want a Littlest Pet Shop toy. I would get some plasticine and some special things and then put some rust on it. We would make the shape of a bunny and then try and make it look like it has rust under it so it’s hard. Then you would wrap it up into a present.” - Bailey “I want a Nintendo DS for Christmas. Well you would need some plastic and some paint and something for the screen because it’s clear, like a window. You would start with the plastic so it’s wrapped up and then take the plastic off when you build it. Then you would have to put the buttons on the front. If there weren’t any buttons, you wouldn’t be able to play it.” - Jason “I want a truck for Christmas. If you were going to make the truck, you would need screws and glue and wood and the wheels. Oh and some red paint. You would put the top together first, glue the top down and then put the screws into the bottom with the screwdriver. Then you’d have to paint it when you’re all done.” - Braedan “I want a swimming puppy. Maybe you would need some hammers and some nails and maybe some goggles. You could start with some plastic and then it would have to be painted brown and blue and white. You would start with the body, then maybe the legs and then the tail at the end.” - Kiera “I want an iPod for Christmas. You would have to paint it blueand then put on the buttons and thescreen and put the battery in.” -Kennedy“I want a toy boat.First you would get a base and then you would put a top onto the base of it and get a big block of wood and then nail it down into the base. I would paint it black and white and silver and then put a sail on the boat with a picture of a skull on it.” - Quaid “I would want a toy tractor. I would paint it green and then build it with some nails and some wood. You would put the wheels on first, then put the nails in and then put the paint on.” - Ty “I want another Barbie doll forChristmas.To make the Barbie you wouldneed rubber and plastic and paint,probably pink, blue, white andblack. You would shape the legs and arms and then shape the body and then put them all together. Then you would put on the head.” - Ella “I want a Nintendo DS. You would have to shape the metal first and then connect all the wires, then make the glass for the screen. You would have to print the words onto it and make the plastic and set it down on the counter so you could Blyth’s Grade 1 students discuss toy making Building toys We asked the Christmas experts, Blyth Public School’s Grade 1 students, to pretend they were elves and then asked them how they would make their favourite toy in Santa’s workshop.
