Alhena is 3, just turned 3 at the beginning of October. Shortly before Christmas, she became Santa Claus.
Of course, she'd been hearing murmurings about Santa since Halloween, just like the rest of us. Then, along came Thanksgiving, and Christmas was suddenly full blown and looming on the horizon, getting closer every day. Watching tv and cartoons, Santa was suddenly appearing in nearly every one. Alhena quickly picked up that Santa was coming (to HER HOUSE!) and bringing "presents", altho she may not have known what "presents" was yet. She knew it was good.
She was so excited, HE was coming to HER HOUSE! And bringing HER presents!
Alhena and Z have a classic rocking horse, with the rocker base that isn't open under the horse. It has leather-looking strips for the mane and tail.
Alhena and Z also have a yellow Sit and Spin.
Alhena puts "presents" under the horse (she's figured out "presents" are toys) on the rocker part. She places the the Sit and Spin behind the rocking horse, and sits on the part that sticks up, that you hold onto. She takes 2, and only 2, very specific strips from the horse's tail, and holds one in each hand.
She is magically transformed into Santa, with sleigh, presents, and reindeer! "HO HO HO! Merry Christmas to ALL!" she says.
She distributes the presents to whoever happens by: Mom, Grandma, friends. What a smart and imaginative little girl!
