- Allow your child to decorate each "bell" with the Christmas Stickers.
- Ask your child to identify each letter on the Christmas Ornaments. Tell them that the ornaments are their "Reindeer Bells".
- Tell your child that the "bells" spell their name. Ask them to place the "bells" in the order of their name - spelling their name with the letters written on the ornaments.
- Tell your child that they are bells just like Santa's reindeer wear. They are their "bells" because the bells spell their name!
