Directions to make your paper Santa craft
STEP 1: Gather the supplies
Before you get started, make sure to gather up all your supplies! This make it so much easier when making Christmas crafts for preschoolers like these.
STEP 2: Prepare Santa template
Now to get started, print and cut the template patterns to make your paper Santa craft. If you don't have the template yet, scroll down to the bottom of the page to download your printable Santa template. The template includes Santa's beard, moustache, face, nose, body (big rectangle), belt (strip and small square), and his hat (semi-circle shape).
Alternatively, you can paint a toilet paper tube red for Santa's body. This can help preschoolers to be more involved (and messy) as they get to help paint!
STEP 3: Arrange and glue Santa's face
Next, start by arranging and gluing on Santa's face to his body. Either take the large rectangle piece or your toilet paper tube and glue the belt along the middle as shown below. Then, glue the face along the top centre.
Once you've done that, glue on the beard to Santa's face. Then, attach the moustache, the nose, and googly eyes into the correct places.
STEP 4: Complete Santa's belt
Take the small square cut out and apply gold craft glitter, then attach it onto the middle of the black strip.
STEP 5: Make Santa's hat
Next, start forming Santa's hat by wrapping the semi circle shape into a cone. Glue the ends and glue a cotton ball to the top to form a hat.
If using the cut out shapes, roll the Santa body and glue the ends together.
Glue Santa's hat on the top of his face as shown below.
Glue Santa's hat on the top of his face as shown below.
STEP 6: Finalise the paper Santa craft
To finish up the craft, add some cotton to the beard and moustache with glue. You can also add some extra fun details - get creative! Allow the glue to dry and your craft is finished!
