Here is a craft that Callie did. The theme was, What else could Santa use to pull his sleigh, her answer:

Santa tried hamsters but their nose wasn't red and glowing so it was black and dull. And they got buried in the snow, and the jingle bells would not fit around their neck.
He tried turtles but he could not get to all the houses in time.
He tried horses but they were too loud.
He tried gingerbread people but they just ran away as fast as they could.
