Preschool: Easy and cute Santa craft ideas

Egg-shaped Santa

[Easy] Just cut and paste ✨ How to make a Santa 🎅 and reindeer 🎄 [No sewing required] DIY How to make Santa Claus and reindeer

Fabric mascots have a unique texture and are adorable, but do you find yourself thinking, “You have to sew them, so there’s no way little kids can make them…”? Actually, by using egg-shaped Styrofoam balls, you can make a fabric Santa without any sewing at all! It’s easy: use double-sided tape to attach chirimen fabric to the Styrofoam ball.

Then attach the face, beard, and hat pieces with double-sided tape or glue, and you’ve got a cute, round fabric Santa.

If an adult helps with cutting out the pieces and gluing the small parts, the rest of the steps are manageable even for young children.

Santa with wobbly legs

Christmas Craft 3: Wobbly Long-Legged Santa!! [Easy] (Daycare/Kindergarten)

Let’s make a unique Santa using pieces of construction paper pasted together.

If an adult cuts out all the parts in advance, the kids just have to glue them on.

That way, even young children trying crafts for the first time can give it a go! Prepare Santa’s face, arms, gloves, hat, belt, body, and the key feature of this craft: long, fluttery legs.

The legs are made from paper strips, so when you sit Santa on the edge of a desk or hang him on the tree, his legs dangle and flutter—so fun! Once all the parts are ready, have the children glue each piece together.

After assembling all the parts to complete Santa, finish by drawing Santa’s face with colored pencils or crayons.

A Santa with a handprint beard

[Kindergarten/Daycare] December Handprint Santa with a Beard – Art/Craft Project

When it comes to Santa craft ideas, you sometimes see the same ones overlapping in magazines, books, and online media.

A great way to break out of that rut is a handprint-beard Santa.

As the name suggests, it’s an idea where you make Santa’s beard using handprints, and it’s perfect for making together with little kids.

It’s simple: first, cut and combine pieces of construction paper to form Santa, then add a separate piece of paper with a handprint for the beard.

If you make one every few years, it also becomes a lovely keepsake that shows your child’s growth.

Santa hanging ornament

[Craft Idea] Christmas Hanging Decorations (December) (Christmas Ornaments) (Activities for Seniors / Occupational Therapy) (Wall Decorations)

The hanging Santa decoration is a bit challenging, but that makes it a rewarding Santa Claus craft idea.

Use a compass to draw curves on construction paper, then cut along the lines.

You’ll trace circles of various sizes with a compass on multiple sheets, so if you’re used to handling a compass, this will be easy to tackle! Glue the cut circles together, then finish by adding Santa’s face, a cotton beard, and a string for hanging.

If you measure carefully, it will have a professional look—give it a try!

Milk Carton Santa

[Parent-child craft, easy] Christmas craft 🎄🎅 Let’s make Christmas boots! 🎅🎄 Milk carton craft — Let’s make Christmas boots!

Let’s make a Santa that can also be enjoyed as building blocks using milk cartons! In addition to milk cartons, you’ll need red construction paper and origami.

First, cut the milk carton to create two cubes.

Once you cover the cubes with red construction paper, you’ll have the bases for Santa’s head and body.

Attach the facial parts and clothing parts you made from origami to these bases, and your Santa is complete.

Since the basics are just cutting with scissors and gluing, let children take charge of each step according to their developmental stage.

Origami: Santa Hat

How to make an origami Santa hat with a pompom [Origami] Santa hat with pompom

Let’s try making the hat that Santa wears using origami.

With a clever folding method, you can create space inside and give it a three-dimensional feel like a real hat.

Red origami paper is the standard choice, and the key is to make use of the white reverse side to form the hat’s details.

The steps are intricate, but a major advantage is that you can easily make it using just a single sheet of origami paper.

It looks cute on its own, but it would also be fun to add it to other decorations or even put it on a small mascot.

Crafts made using familiar materials and scrap are a great experience for both children and adults.

Instead of buying something new, using items that would otherwise be thrown away can also contribute to the SDGs.

The items you’ll need are: a toilet paper roll, construction paper cut into parts, glue, double-sided tape or paste, red pom-poms, a black pen, and rubber bands.

When attaching the pom-poms, it’s a good idea to secure them with rubber bands while they dry.
