Chalk Art Santa Craft To Make This Season!

Here’s an easy Santa craft idea for kids to make this holiday season, that uses inexpensive white chalk for a super fun beard element. Kids can make his white beard as full or as light as they want! From there, they can also custom it and no two pieces will look alike!

Many of the materials I used today in this chalk art Santa beard tutorial can be found at your local dollar store or even the grocery store. No need to pull out your hair and head to a fancy craft store with the crowds. We made it super simple and rather affordable – as always!

Now what are we waiting for?! All the details can be found below in our step-by-step tutorial. Although I don’t have a free printable like my past chalk art tutorials, this Santa inspired one is really easy to start on your own and complete just as fast. Promise!

So friends – don’t let this crafty idea slip away! Christmas will be over before you know it and this unique Christmas craft idea NEEDS to be done with your child! Bookmark this very post and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art and paper plate Santas with your child. Then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pics so tag us on Facebook or use our #gluedtomycrafts in the description for us to see!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper and chalk Santa beard creations!

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.

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.

PAIR YOUR SANTA CRAFT WITH OUR —> Cotton Ball & Popsicle Stick Santa

Make It Your Own:

Did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the colors more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the white chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before.

BTW – another spin on this craft is that you use decorative or REAL leaves from outdoors in place of the chalk on paper! 🙂
