Anyone who has ever interacted with children has undoubtedly been moved to tears of laughter at the things they say. As we've noticed here at Eureka!, children do say the funniest things!
This year's ‘Santa’s Magical Toyshop’, a special workshop just for Early Years groups has been no exception. ‘Santa’s Magical Toyshop’ is about two mischievous elves (Twinkle and Jingle) who have not got very far through Santa’s job list and so need the children’s help to complete the festive tasks before Santa’s returns.
Many of the Enablers at Eureka!, myself included, have been caught out laughing at some of the responses children give to Santa and his Elves alike. One such response was from a little boy who, when Santa asked ‘who would like a present?’, innocently declared:
“I’ve already got a present from a different Santa I saw last week!”
In another workshop Santa, on returning from his annual holidays with Mrs Clause, was met with the cries of one child shouting:
“…but where’s Mrs Clause gone?”
On leaving one particular workshop one child stated, whilst wagging his finger:
“Twinkle…you have been very mischievous today…you’ve got to be good”.
Such heart warming comments as these remind us all why we have chosen to work with children. Merry Christmas everyone!
