Christmas Craft of the Day
Santa Picture
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.
Color the picture with crayons. Once the picture is finished, place
cotton balls to cover Santa’s beard, and one at the end of his hat.
You can even glue black buttons for Santa’s eyes, and a red button
for his nose. Decorate the blank area of the white construction
paper by drawing candy canes or trees. When the picture is
completed, your kids can sign their names directly under the
picture. Take a piece of cardboard and glue the picture to it. Place
the picture in a frame, and place the frame in a special place in
your home for all to see and admire.
