Small Paper Plate {one per Santa craft}
Kid Friendly Paper Craft Scissors

White Cardstock Paper

Directions:

First things first – grab your small paper plate and scissors.
Cut the paper plate, straight down the center, into TWO equal halves.
Reserve one half for today’s Santa craft and save the other for a rainy day.
Now grab your skin tone craft paint and foam paint brush.
Squirt some paint in the middle of the paper plate half and move it around with the foam paint brush, until the paper plate is completely covered.
When done painting, set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry completely.
Now grab your black cardstock and the scissors again.
Fold the black cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
Use scissors to again to cut straight up the center, to create two equal pieces.
Reserve one black paper piece for today’s craft and save the other for another day.
Now grab your white craft paint and the plastic fork.
Squirt a small amount of craft paint in the center of the black paper.
Using the plastic fork as a paint brush, make several lines all over the black cardstock, to recreate Santa’s beard. Add as much or as little as you like.
When done with the paint step, set aside the paper piece and clean your hands off with a few baby wipes.
Now grab your red and white cardstock paper.
Cut out a large Santa hat, Santa’s nose and a few white elements for his cap.
Once you have all your paper pieces cut out and the paper plate is dry to touch, it’s time to assemble your craft! Go ahead and grab all your paper pieces, the glue, wiggle eyes and stapler.
Start off by stapling the painted paper plate half to the top of the black cardstock with the white chalk lines.
Follow that up by adding the hat on top of that, then the nose and of course, the small wiggles eyes so he can see.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter or some holiday stickers for a festive look.}
Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper and craft paint Santa piece proudly for all to see!
