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 of his finished Santa craft and it’s hanging proudly on our art display in the living room.
