Santa Moon Craft Idea For Kids

Use a paper plate and a few other materials to recreate these adorable Santa crescent moon crafts! Kids will love making this cute craft, which can be displayed all year round. This is an easy DIY kit that will give your kids something fun to do over the holidays.

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate – one per Santa moon craft
Scissors
Skin Tone Craft Paint
Paint Brush
Free Santa Hat Printable {found on box.com}
Red Cardstock Paper
Color Printer
Stapler
White Cotton Balls
Large Wiggle Eyes – two per Santa moon craft
School Glue

Directions:

First things first – print off the FREE Santa hat printable listed above in the supply list. I highly suggest printing it out on red cardstock paper but you can of course use white as an alternative and have kids color in the hat design instead.
Next cut the printed shape from the paper. If using red cardstock paper, before you discard the excess, be sure to cut out Santa’s nose real quick.
Now glue some cotton balls on the rim of the cutout, as well as one cotton ball on the tip.
When done gluing, set aside the decorated hat piece till later.
Up next – the paper plate moon. Grab the plate, along with your scissors.
Cut the paper plate to look like a half moon shape.
Discard the excess paper plate piece.
Paint your paper plate shape with your craft paint.
To finish off the paper plate witch moon craft, simply staple the hat shape from earlier, to the painted paper plate.
Follow by up by gluing on his cotton ball “beard” on the paper plate.
The last step is to add on the facial features – like the wiggle eyes, a small oval nose etc.
And that’s it! You can either add some more elements {like some stickers or glitter glue} or go straight to displaying it proudly for ALL to see!
Now pair your finished Christmas moon craft with our Popsicle Stick Santa Gnome tutorial.
