The Process
This joyful Santa Claus craft for kids from simple shapes is a perfect blend of learning and creativity.
Children practice fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and shape recognition while making a festive collage.
Steps:
Draw or trace the shapes from the picture. Replace the curly beard with a white circle and the mustache with two half-circles.
For younger children, cut out the shapes in advance; for older ones, let them cut the rough outlines themselves. Always encourage scissor work – it’s key for hand coordination.
Assembling Santa:
Before gluing, let kids move and arrange the pieces freely. They might create their own funny versions of Santa — and that’s wonderful!
You might create funny characters different from the one in the video – that’s part of the magic!
Once the favorite design is chosen, glue the parts together to complete the Santa Claus collage.
