Milk Carton Santa Puzzle

Milk carton cube puzzles are toys that can be enjoyed in many ways.
Having them in the classroom expands play possibilities.
Cut the milk cartons so they form cubes, and cut and paste so that all faces can be used.
If the inside is hollow, they’ll get crushed by impact, so it’s best to tightly pack folded milk cartons inside.
After making several cubes, cover them with red or white construction paper, and use the paper to create Santa’s face and body on each face.
Depending on how you combine them, they can form a matching Santa picture or be used like building blocks—the possibilities are endless.
Finish the faces in a way that lets children use their imagination as they play.
Fluffy Santa Ornament
Let me introduce a Santa ornament with an adorably fluffy look! Once you’ve prepared the wrapping bags, have the children fill them with tissue paper and cotton.
Show them a drawing of Santa or a finished sample, and explain which part they’ll be making next—it makes it easier to understand.
Next, stick on the pom-pom nose and the eye and mouth stickers.
The placement will reflect each child’s personality, so you’ll end up with Santas of many different characters.
They’re also great for decorating the tree.
In conclusion
We introduced some Santa-themed craft ideas for kids—what did you think? There are so many unique and charming Santas that it’s hard to choose which one to make.
Let’s create a wonderful Santa that would make the real Santa smile!
