Paper Plate Santa Craft

This simple paper Christmas craft is perfect for kids! It’s so much fun and really cute, too!

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate
Marker or Pencil
Red Cardstock Paper
Craft Scissors
Skin Tone Crayon or Craft Paint
Paint Brush
White School Glue
Wiggle Eyes
Red Pom Pom
White Cotton Balls

Directions:

First draw a large triangle on your red cardstock paper. This is Santa’s body. Have children cut it out.
Next cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to make two equal halves.
Keep one half and save the other for another day.
In the inside section of the paper plate half, paint Santa’s skin tone in.
Once done, glue on the wiggle eyes and a red nose on the paper plate half.
Now glue that decorated paper plate half to the center of the red triangle piece from earlier.
To finish off the Paper Plate Santa craft, glue a cotton ball towards the top of the red triangle to make Santa’s hat.
Then let it all dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!
