Sleepy Santa Paper Craft
This is a cute craft of Santa in his pj's wearing his fluffy reindeer slippers. The
kids will get a kick seeing what Santa looks like when he gets ready for bed. It's
a good craft to hang up in their bedrooms.
My girls liked the fact that the Santa Claus paper craft looks the
same as the Sleepy Santa Craft -- we have Sleepy Santa hanging in the
bedroom and Santa Claus hanging by the fireplace. They liked the
candy-cane suspenders too *grin*.
Materials:
 | a printer, |
 | a piece of paper |
 | some crayons, paint, markers
or pencil crayons, |
 | scissors, and |
 | glue. |

Instructions
 | Print out the template of choice.
 | There is a choice between a large Santa (3 templates) or a small Santa
(1 template). I prefer the large version, but it takes more paper
and ink. |
 | You also have a choice between making Santa hold a cookie or making
him hold a "Twas the Night Before Christmas" book.
|
|
 | Colour (where appropriate) and
cut out the template pieces.
|
 | To glue together:
 | Glue reindeer slippers onto the bottom of the large body piece |
 | Glue the cookie or "Twas the Night Before Christmas" book
(depending on which you choose) onto the tummy |
 | Glue the arms so the shoulders line up with the top of the body piece
and the hands overlap the cookie or book |
 | Glue the head onto the top of the body.
 | on the large templates, the head is in a few different
pieces. Glue the round face on first, |
 | add the beard and mustache |
 | glue the hat/hair on last.
