Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?  In this episode of Tot School, teacher Kathy Reese and four youngsters sing the popular song “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” first recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.  The episode is dedicated to Christmas crafts and a special visit by Santa Claus. 

Tot School: Christmas Show can be seen on Government 11, the governmental access channel of the City of Paducah, and on Paducah-2.  The episode also is online at www.paducahky.gov and the various social media outlets for the City of Paducah including Youtube and Facebook.  Check the website for Government 11 program information, videos, news releases, and broadcast schedules. 

Reese and the children enjoy two fun crafts.  In the first craft, Rudolph is created using Popsicle sticks, construction paper, glue, and wiggle eyes.  The episode ends with a tasty treat created out of butter, marshmallows, corn flakes, and green food coloring.  Mix those ingredients together to make a sticky snack that kids can mold into a wreath.  The final step is to add some red candies that look like berries.
