Ho, Ho, Ho! Did you catch our Gingerbread Man {Kid Craft} from yesterday?

Well – continuing on with the theme of Christmas on Glued To My Crafts, today I’m sharing an EASY Paper Plate Santa Kid Craft! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Santa – Kid Craft Idea For Christmas Fun!

Like always – the supplies for this paper plate and cardstock Santa craft is really inexpensive and pretty easy to find. I bet you have most to all of them already in your house, so all you need to do is pull them out. {no excuses!}

To change things up from our normal routine of crafting, my son got to use his own personal pair of scissors in this craft {which you can imagine for a preschooler is pretty exciting!} He had full control and he absolutely LOVED it! I of course, loved the end result and it’s hanging proudly on our art display in the living room.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t be on my naughty list this year – make this craft for your child today!

Find all the crafty details in the full paper plate Santa craft tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished paper Santa pieces with us on our Facebook page! Come make our day and share away! #gluedtomycrafts
