Children love crafts at Christmastime. You can spend time with your children as you enjoy these Santa craft ideas that are relatively fun and easy. Pick from a variety of our Christmas craft-decorating, free ideas.
SANTA PICTURE:
If you are searching for holiday craft ideas for preschoolers, begin with this activity-Santa pictures. There are hundreds of Santa coloring books sold during Christmas. Pick a picture from the book. Cut out Santa's picture, and put it in the center of your white construction paper. Using a glue stick, paste the Santa's picture on to the paper.
Color the picture with colored markers. Cotton balls to be added as Santa's beard and the tip of his red hat. You can use black buttons to serve as Santa's eyes and a red bead button for his nose. Decorate the rest of the area of the white paper by drawing candy canes or trees.
After you are done, have your kids print their names right under Santa. Glue their art work to a piece of heavy cardboard. Put the picture in a frame to protect it. Then you can show off your child's art work in your home..
SANTA CHRISTMAS CARDS:
Santa Christmas cards are also fun for your children. Get a piece of heavy, white paper and cut the paper to a 5" x 7" size. You can fold it in half, either way - vertical or horizontal. Now it's time to be creative. Have pictures of Santa that your kids can copy on to the front cover. Use crayons or felt markers to let their creative ideas explode.
Open up the card and let your children print Christmas messages on the inside of the card. Homemade Christmas cards are delightful to display at home or send to friends and relatives. If you are doing several projects, be sure to add this to your Christmas craft-a-day calendar.
MAKE A SANTA PLATE ORNAMENT FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE:
To make a Santa plate, gather crayons and markers, cotton balls, a large paper plate, and color sparkles. On the paper plate, trace or draw Santa, without his red hat. Glue the cotton balls on his beard. As a way of being creative, glue the cotton balls together into a V-shape so that Santa's beard hangs off the plate. Another place to use cotton balls is on Santa's hair
Color Santa's eyes blue and draw the Santa's glasses black. Color cotton ball red with food coloring or a market. Now place it on Santa's nose. On the rim of the plate, use red or green marker. You might like to decorate it with glitter, too. Lastly, you need to add a hook to the plate and hang it on your tree.
Who said it can't be done? There are so many different ways to share with your kids in designing, creating, and decorating Santa Christmas ornaments, pictures, and cards.
