Santa Craftivity

Can you think of ways of making Santa Claus' beard and the fluffy ball at the top of his hat? The example above uses cotton balls. Other ideas could be: a mix of shaving foam and white glue, newspaper, or shredded paper.

Reindeer Craftivitiy

How can you make antlers for the reindeer? Try thin sticks, craft sticks, brown pipe cleaners, or just drawing them. If you choose to make a Rudolph craft what could you use to make Rudolph's red nose? In the example above the nose is made with a lid wrapped in red play-dough. Some ideas could be: red glitter, a big red button or jar lid.

Snowman Craftivity

How to build a Snowman? (or Snow-woman). For the buttons try pom-pons, finger prints, pennies or actual buttons (haha!). For the scarf and the line on the hat you could use: play-dough, pipe, cleaners, ribbons or scrap fabric. The Snowman's nose in the example is a craft stick.

► HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE:

Print the Christmas templates for Santa, Rudolph and Snow-person. Either have a few craft supplies ready for the children to use or let them go beyond using their creativity and thinking of ways to complete each character's picture. In the Reindeer craft example above I used coffee for the brown fur, because why not!

More ways to do these Christmas art projects:

Go natural: Go outside and find resources in nature that you can use for this activity. Sticks for the reindeer’s antlers? YES!

Go green: Use only recycled trash to craft your Christmas characters. I reckon Mr. Snowman would fancy a really nice scarf made out of candy wrappers
