Santa Christmas Paper Plate Craft for Kids

By A Cultivated Nest Team

I love Christmastime, and (obviously) so do my kids! Which means as soon as the weather gets appropriately cold, they’re begging to watch Christmas movies, listen to Christmas music, and do Christmas crafts! And I am quite happy to join in, even if it’s not officially the Christmas season yet. I just can’t help myself! If your kids want to do a Christmas craft, or you just want to keep them busy over their holiday break, why not have them make this Santa Christmas Paper Plate Craft for Kids!

This Santa Christmas paper plate craft is an inexpensive and fun kids craft for the holidays! It'd be a great Christmas break activity for kids of all ages!

What I love about crafts like this Santa Christmas paper plate craft is that they’re inexpensive, a lot of fun, and take a decent amount of time. Not too long, but also not so little time that the kids are done and looking for something else to do in minutes.

When my kids finished their Santa plates, we found a place to put them up in their rooms. We also considered putting a ribbon on the back of the plates and hanging them on their bedroom doors, but they eventually chose to put their Santa plates with their other artwork.

Add one to the top of your hat, then fill in any bare spots with more cotton balls.

Then your Santa Christmas paper plate craft is finished and ready to be put on display!
