For a fun and unique activity, put together a magical Polar Express Kit for the kids! When the kids are about to get into bed, have them look under their pillow and SURPRISE! There will be a ticket to board the Polar Express! While we wish we could just hop on a magical steam engine train and head to the North Pole, a hop in the car to check out all the festive holiday lights in the neighborhood will be just as magical! As the kids get into the car (and you shout Alllllllllll Aboooaaaarrddd!), have these darling Polar Express Kits waiting for them. Inside the kits will be an "I Believe" jingle bell, train whistle, a cuddly friend straight from the North Pole and a little Christmas treat!
