Polar Express Printables

My good friend Beth planned an adorable “Polar Express” street party on Monday! The kids were in heaven….with the story, hot cocoa, pajamas, treats…and even a mini train (like the little tractor barrel trains you see at a carnival). We loved it!

I made some printable tickets and bell tags for the event. I would love to share these with our readers. I love the book “The Polar Express.” It is such a fun theme for a Christmas party…You can even just pretend you are on a train, or use the tickets to watch the movie!

I used the talented Crystal Wilkerson’s bracket shape for the bell tag and ticket shape for the train ticket …she is amazing!

    Love! My boys are obsessed with the Polar Express! We are doing a Polar Express Train ride this Christmas, and will print these out for my boys for some pre or post ride fun. Thank you!

    Thanks for sharing! They are adorable! I do a week long unit on the Polar Express in my classroom and would love to use these. I couldn’t get the tickets to save or print. Is there another way you could send them to me? Thank you!

    These are great! Thank you so much for making them available. I am going to use them for our ward party. We are giving all of the kids a jingle bell with the believe tag. I was just wondering what I was going to use. You have saved me a lot of time and effort!!

    Jamie you are the greatest!!! All of you girls are just amazing. But Jamie you made my day, I need these tickets to go on a scrapbook page I did of my grandchildren which was taken many many years ago when the movie first came out. We still watch this movie together every Christmas even though my oldest grandchild is now eighteen. Bless you and yours during with most blessed time of the year!!

    Such a cute idea! I’m thinking my daughter’s December Birthday party! This story has become a tradition for us and I’m thinking the tags would be cute tied onto packages with a bell.

    Perfect! My daughter’s class (Pre-K) is having a Polar Express day next week! So excited to cut out the ticket and label bells! Thanks! I printed copies for her teacher (for use following years, and the 1st Grace teacher who also does a PE day. They’ll LOVE it! I’ll tell them where I got it! This isn’t the first cute craft I’ve brought for the kids and told it was from The Crafting Chicks! I know it won’t be the last, either!

      Just a follow-up. Printed and cut out the tickets and the tags. Attached the tags to snowflake jingle bells, with red ribbon and gave the whole batch to my daughter’s Pre-K teacher, for their Polar Express party today. She LOVE, LOVE, LOVED them! She even punched the tickets of each student, as they sat down to watch the movie. I also gave her some masters to use in future years. Thanks, The Crafting Chicks, for helping take the party “over the top!”

    I am taking my son the Friday after Christmas to ride the Polar Express train in Williams, AZ. I am taking him after because he has been asking Santa for the tickets so Santa will be bringing them. I have to pick up the tickets at will call so I have nothing to give him. I was hoping you could email them to me so that I can print them. I have tried downloading and printing and it doesn’t work. Thank you so much and a Polar Express party sounds like a BLAST for young and old.

I tried right clicking per your replies above but it still does not give the option to change it in any way. Would you be able to email it to me in a word format? Our party is tomorrow so if there is any way you could assist, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much!
