SANTA PICTURE:
If you're looking for holiday craft ideas for preschoolers, this is a great place to start. So, let's begin with Santa pictures. There are a variety of Santa coloring books available during the holidays. Choose a picture from the book. Cut out the picture of Santa, and place the picture in the center of a sheet of white construction paper. Use a glue stick to secure the picture.
Use colored pencils to decorate the picture. Once coloring is done, use wisps of cotton to serve as Santa's beard and a small ball of cotton at the end of his red hat. To make it extra special, use small, black buttons as Santa's eyes and a red button for his nose. Fill the rest of the area of the white construction paper by drawing presents or candy canes.
After you are done, have your kids print their names right under Santa. Glue their art work to a piece of heavy cardboard. Put the picture in a frame to protect it. Then you can show off your child's art work in your home..
SANTA CHRISTMAS CARDS:
Making Santa Christmas cards is another craft idea your kids will enjoy. Take a piece of white construction paper and measure the paper to a size of 5x7 inches. Cut the construction paper to that size. Fold the construction paper in half, either horizontally or vertically. Encourage your children to draw their own version of Santa on the front cover. Use crayons or colored markers.
After making the pictures, it's time for your kids to write Christmas messages on the inside page. Christmas cards made this way are delightful to show off at home or send to loved ones. You can also do a Christmas craft-a-day activity and add this to your Christmas calendar. Whether you teach a class or do this at home, it's an enjoyable thing to do with your kids or students.
MAKE A SANTA PLATE ORNAMENT FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE:
You'll need crayons and markers; cotton balls, a dinner-sized paper plate, and color sparkles. Draw Santa, without his red cap, on the plate using the crayons or markers. Add the cotton balls for his beard. You can even glue the cotton balls into a V shape so that Santa's beard hangs off the plate. The cotton balls can also be used for Santa's hair, too.
Color Santa's eyes blue and draw the Santa's glasses black. Color cotton ball red with food coloring or a market. Now place it on Santa's nose. On the rim of the plate, use red or green marker. You might like to decorate it with glitter, too. Lastly, you need to add a hook to the plate and hang it on your tree.
As you can see, there are so many different ways to involve your kids in creating, making, and decorating Santa Christmas ornaments, pictures, and cards. - 15485
