HO HO HO! Hi friends! Did you catch our Paper Plate Santa Kid Craft yesterday? Well – continuing on with the theme of that big jolly guy, today I’m sharing this Popsicle Stick Santa Kid Craft.

Using inexpensive supplies, this craft is a budget friendly way to create a festive & unique Christmas piece that can easily double as an ornament too. It’s super fun for kids of all ages {and adults} and is perfect to beat the winter boredom blues!

Wondering where to begin? You’ll find the list of supplies & step-by-step instructions below, as well as some other holiday craft inspiration! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Popsicle Sticks {9 total}
* Skin Toned Paint {affiliate link}
* Foam Paint Brush
* School Glue
* Scissors
* White Cottonballs
* Red & White Cardstock
* Small Circle Punch {affiliate link}

Directions:

* First assemble the base of Santa. Glue the popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, have your child paint the front of the popsicle stick fence.
* While they are doing that, cut out the other embellishments for Santa. Think eyes, nose and hat.
* To finish off the craft, glue on the Santa paper embellishments and add a line of cottonballs near the bottom, to represent his beard. Then let it all dry completely, before displaying proudly. If you like, add some ribbon to the back so you can easily turn it into an ornament.
