Santa Paper Craft

This Santa paper craft is a great photo craft for the holidays. We love how Santa’s arms and legs wiggle when you pick it up. This wiggly Santa photo craft is the perfect activity for a classroom project or Christmas party. They would look great on a bulletin board too.

4. Glue a black strip of paper for the belt onto the body. You can use our template for this part and kids can color it in, or you can draw your own to make it a little bigger like we did.

To make the gold buckle: cut out a square to fit the belt. Bend the square slightly and make a slit in the middle. Then cut out the middle of the square with scissors.
