Directions to make Popsicle Stick Santa Craft

Begin by cutting out pieces of Santa’s hat in red, approximately 5 x 6 centimetres in size, as well as a small strip in black and two small rectangles (yellow and black) for the belt.

Grab some cotton, googly eyes, and a red pom-pom.

Next, arrange four popsicle sticks side by side and secure them together with tape. Flip this arrangement over and use it as the base. Paste the red hat on top.

Proceed to paint the lower part of the body in red, leaving the face unpainted. The red section should cover less than 2/3rd of the total length.

Once the paint has dried, affix the belt at the centre of the red area. Then, attach the yellow rectangle to the black strip and place the black rectangle on top of it.

Pull apart a cotton ball gently to create a fluffy beard. Shape it into a soft triangle and press it onto the face using white glue.

Then, roll a thin piece of cotton into a strip and glue it along the bottom edge of the hat for trim. Finish by rolling a small cotton ball and placing it at the hat’s tip

Finally, attach the googly eyes and the red pom-pom as the nose.

Want to add more personality to your Santa? Try drawing a big smile under the nose or adding rosy cheeks with pink paint or a crayon. Have fun crafting!

Now your Santa decoration is complete! Whether you hang it on the Christmas tree or use it as a festive puppet, this craft is sure to bring holiday cheer. Try personalizing Santa’s hat with glitter or stickers for extra sparkle!

This is an enjoyable project that you can do either at home or in a classroom setting. You can incorporate it into your storytelling sessions or simply have some festive fun crafting with your children.
