Please note..

When buying festive Santa straws, make sure they are the kind that also whistle, really loudly!


There are lots of fun things you can do with straws (other than it's intended purpose) like using it to blow a balloon around the house making up songs as you go (Lola's song went something like "wonderful birds sing TWEET TWEET!"). Or my personal favourite, suck a M&M chocolate out of the bowl using the straw when you don't feel like using your hands. Genius!
