Mix and Match Santa Craft Instructions
STEP 1: Prepare printable Santa template
First print out the Santa template and decide which parts to use. There’s many options for the head, body, nose, arms, boots, etc. Cut out your selections.
Trace the templates on the coloured paper and cut them out or simply colour the template in your chosen colours.
If you are making a Santa photo craft you will need to cut out a photograph of your child.STEP 2: Assemble Santa Craft
Use the craft glue to assemble your mix and match Santa. Glue the boots to the legs and the mittens to the arms. Then the arms and legs can be attached to the body.
Assemble the belt by gluing the small black square inside the yellow square and attaching it to the long black rectangle. Glue the belt to the body.
Put the hat together by glueing the brim and topper to the triangle hat piece. Glue the hat to the head.
Pop on some google eyes and stick on the beard and red nose. Use the marker to draw on Santa's smile.
You can also use the photo for the face instead! Just use some scissors to trim the beard of choice to fit.
