Introduce the Tradition

Explain the idea of Santa Bags to your children.

Share how their toys will be repaired and rehomed to other kids in need.

Select the Toys

Sit down with your children and encourage them to choose toys they’ve outgrown or no longer play with.

Remind them these toys will bring joy to someone else.

Fill the Santa Bag

Place the selected toys into the Santa Bag.

Make it fun by letting the kids decorate the bag if they’d like!

Santa’s Visit

On Christmas Eve, leave the Santa Bag in a designated spot.

Tell your kids that Santa will pick up the bag and leave a small token of appreciation in return.

Exchange the Gift

Replace the toys in the bag with the small token gift before the kids wake up.

Share in their excitement as they discover Santa’s gratitude for their generosity!

Donate the Toys

Deliver the toys to a local charity, shelter, or community center.

Share with your children how their toys will help bring smiles to other kids.
