How this all started?

Elf Mari made a nice little elf with a red coat. Then there was Mrs. Santa Claus, Santa Claus, a Reindeer, a Christmas Cat, a Little Bird in a tree and a Snowman. All friends sharing Christmas spirit all over the world.

How did the Reindeer got his pink nose and how he broke his leg and, how Mrs. Santa helped it in the forest on her berry picking tour. That is also a true story.

There is one secret about the cat. It was once lost and found among the snowy trees at Syöte National Park area since it is so white. And Santa was so worried about it!

Have you ever thought how easy it is to draw?

If you have a good teacher, you can do nearly everything. In Mrs. Santa´s workshop you will find new ideas of drawing or painting in a friendly group with Mrs. Santa Claus. She will show how you can draw an elf, a reindeer or a Christmas tree. Mrs. Santa has also done art education studies, beside of the degree of a professional teacher graduated from the university of Lapland.

When I was a child, my teacher made a wonderful Christmas fairytale on the blackboard. With chalk.

We use quality watercolor, coloring pencils, charcoal for lively lines, good paper and brushes. Eveyrone will succeed in the workshop. There are motives everywhere in the old house.

Learning is a key to success

Learning is a key of every child´s future success. Follow a stroke of charcoal and see how watercolor is spreading nicely of the drawing. Arts makes us human and happy. It is also meditative.

Live-drawing of Mrs. Santa Claus opens your group a new world of art with your abilities to grow in an authentic atmosphere in a very old house in Hailuoto. We use also web applications for drawing.

Book your class! Let us inspire you as Mrs. Santa´s teacher did to her as a child!

New Sauna Architecture

We have been working with many summer internees of the university of Oulu. This time architecture students made a plan for Mrs. Santa Claus´s new sauna building which got the form of a Christmas hat. The students got probably good working experience for their future.

Students got also to know about the Finnish society and see how different cultures meet. Oulu seems now to be a very attractive place to study or make another university degree. Some of the students apply for a job in Finnish firms. 

Mrs. Santa Claus Finland has a huge scientific and society network, which you can benefit! 

Please, contact us !

Network counseling for free

We can help you to find different educational networks in Finland as well as science and society network knowledge especially in the Northern Ostrobothnia, Oulu area. We have a long experience of networking of different skilled people and educational organizations.

Mostly our help is free. Our way of doing is based on “your benefit together with our benefit”. Why do we offer valuable things for free? It has already been the way businesses have done business by this in Finland.  It is like sharing Christmas spirit in the world for free. That has taught all the international students we have been working together in Oulu.

Helping is valuable

The students tell about Finland to their friends in China and their experience in the park of Ainolanpuisto when they met Mrs. Santa Claus for some years ago. We are waiting for more co-operation later on in business.

Learning by doing!

This little boy might not have gotten any gifts for Christmas, as he first thought. He opened the magic box and found something exciting in it! He had a curious and creative mind which you can see. Children and elves, they all are the same empty tables, if we do not teach them to learn by doing.

Can you imagine this little boy is creeping on the water? He is now finding something interesting on the ice of the Bothnian Sea just in front of the Lighthouse of Marjaniemi on a very cold winter day. He has suitable clothes on due to the arctic ice and snow.

Mrs. Santa Claus Finland has been experiencing cold nature of Northern Finland, in Hailuoto, Oulu, Kempele, Ylläs, Rovaniemi, Syöte. Cross-country skiing on the sea icecover, trekking in the forests and sliding down the fells of Lapland. With friends, children and grown-ups.

Many Finns love to find peace and calmness in the nature on the fells, by the lakes, in the wetlands and forests. It is a free for everyone to go nearly everywhere by a law of Everyman´s Rights.

Try to walk on the ice!

It is completely normal here! Book your visit to Finland and learn to enjoy the magnificent nature of this country of thousands lakes.

Please, contact us !

The child is examining the snow covered ice of the sea at Marjaniemi in February. Just fantastic!
