Kids love Christmas crafts. Santa craft ideas for kids are an easy and fun way to spend time with your kids during the holidays. Choose from one 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.

Use colored pencils to decorate the picture. Once coloring is done, use wisps of cotton to serve as Santa’s beard and a small ball of cotton at the end of his red hat. To make it extra special, use small, black buttons as Santa’s eyes and a red button for his nose. Fill the rest of the area of the white construction paper by drawing presents or candy canes.

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 perfect for your kids this time of year. Cut a piece of white card stock to 5″ x 7″. You can either fold it vertically or horizontally. Tell your kids to create their own version of Santa on the front page. If they need help, you might have some picturs of Santa for them to copy. Let them use crayons or colored markers to help stimulate their imagination.

After the picture is finished, your kids can write Christmas messages on the inside of the card. Homemade Christmas cards are wonderful to display in your home or send to relatives and friends. You can even add this to your Christmas craft-a-day calendar; it’s a great craft to do with your kids or students.

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

Use a blue marker to color in Santa’s eyes, and a black marker to draw Santa’s glasses. Use red food color on a cotton ball to make Santa’s nose. You can color the rim of the plate with red or green and add color sparkles to it. Finally, place the Santa plate on the tree by inserting an ornament hook at the top of the plate.

Well that’s it! There are many different ways to share with your kids on how to make Santa Christmas ornaments, pictures, and cards.
