Make this holiday season extra special with a little DIY magic!

Here’s a fun craft idea you can do with your little ones using items you probably already have at home. It is also a great way to bond with your children and have some family fun time.

🎅 Festive Paper Plate Santa 🎅

What You’ll Need:

  • A paper plate
  • Cotton balls or shredded paper
  • Red and white crayons or markers
  • Glue or tape
  • Scissors (adult supervision required)

How to Make It:

1️⃣ Create Santa’s Face: Colour the centre of the paper plate pink or peach for Santa’s face.

2️⃣ Add the Hat: Draw and cut a triangle from red paper or colour a red triangle on the plate for Santa’s hat. Glue cotton balls at the tip and bottom for a fluffy effect.

3️⃣ Make the Beard: Glue cotton balls around the bottom edge of the plate to create Santa’s iconic beard.

4️⃣ Add Eyes and a Nose: Draw or glue on the eyes and a little red circle for the nose. Your toddler can even draw funny faces if they want! 🎨

5️⃣ Display Your Masterpiece: Hang your Santa on the wall or use it as part of your table decorations.

🎁 Bonus Idea: Use this craft time to teach your child about shapes (triangle hat, circle nose) and textures (soft cotton balls).

The Best Part? It’s simple, affordable, and full of holiday fun!
