DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Santa Claus Face Paper Craft

Use this craft as an advent calendar or as a one day paper craft.

I made a template with the circles and one without (just in case you want to use it as a single day paper/cotton ball craft instead of as an advent calendar.

Thanks to Richard for the advent calendar idea -- here's his suggestion:  Last year I found picture of Santa's face, the size of an 81/2 by 11 piece of paper.  When we printed it, it had 25 circles on the beard. Each day the grands took great delight in gluing a cotton ball in each circle. On christmas day, the last one completed Santa's beard. I would love to find one for this year. 

Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer white construction paper or another heavier paper), glue, cotton balls and something to color with
 
bullet Print out the template of choice (either with or without circles). 
  
bullet Colour pieces, as necessary.
  
bulletIf using this as an advent calendar, each day of December, have the child glue a piece of cotton ball onto one of the circles OR if using this as a one day craft, have the child fill the beard with cotton balls.
  
bulletWhen I do cotton ball crafts, I usually have the children tear each cotton ball into 3 or 4 pieces before they begin gluing.
    
bullet Close the template window after you've finished printing to return to this screen.
  
bulletSet page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
